Coopetition in Automotive Aftersales
Will we see ‘coopetition’ emerge to provide aftersales coverage in franchised networks as sales network density reduces?
By Thomas Chieux Management Briefing 166/25
This Management Briefing deals with the evolutions taking place in OEM and IAM aftersales networks, the mega trends in the European aftermarket – notably the impact of electrification and ageing car parcs – and demonstrates how a ‘coopetition’ strategy between the OEM franchised service operators and independent repairers could be beneficial for all parties.
The battery repair and replacement ecosystem
From the battery pack state of health (SoH) through to recycling
By Christophe Guillaneuf Management Briefing 165/25
This management briefing is based on a study led by ICDP in late 2024. It focusses on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and their high-voltage (HV) batteries, excluding plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), as the market’s primary objective by 2035 under the European Green Deal is centred on BEVs. In summary, the high-voltage battery aftersales ecosystem encompasses four main operations: state-of-health (SoH) testing, repairs, replacements, and the handling of used batteries (recycling or reuse).
