Carmakers are on a competitive schedule to shift production to battery-electric vehicles only. This is not, beginning to end, a story of regulatory and government pressure. The expansion of public transportation is one of the easiest ways to cut CO_2. Shifting to battery-electric, therefore, is as much a public relations commitment for the automotive industry as it is a pragmatic one. Meanwhile, Volvo, whose cars are constructed in China, will phase out internal combustion engines by 2030. However, while they grapple with how to retool factories and secure materials needed to ramp up electric vehicle (EV) production, the logistics side is taking an unexpected turn; car companies are making moves to clean up supply chains. |
