4、)with the“far”(the secular).Vehicle electrification is one of the two key secular megatrends facing the industry.We accept the notion of the radical powertrain shift ahead,with the electric powertrain to ultimately displace the internal combustion engine(which has powered vehicles since their advent
5、 100+years ago).While we accept the transition is inevitable,we offer a differing opinion on the timing.Simply,we believe the transition will take longer than indicated by the hype.We are only in the first inning of the transition BEVs(fully electric vehicles)represented only 1.5%of global light veh
6、icles sold in 2018.And we expect it will take another 30 years for BEVs to account for the majority of global vehicle sales.To enable the transition to electrification,a number of challenges must be addressed,requiring further increases in resources and attention from industry participants,and remin

8、ins may face risk the cost of an electric powertrain may take another 1-2 decades before being at parity with a combustion engine powertrain,and there will likely be a negative mix effect in the early days of the shift from combustion engine vehicles to EVs.There is also a question on footprint near
9、ly half of manufacturing capacity for automakers today is for engines and transmissions,yet EVs need a far simpler footprint.The transition will be costly,and will have a social/political cost.Powertrain parts suppliers also face risk:Automakers may choose to increase insourcing to re-use capacity,a
10、nd also to mitigate some of the profit headwinds.Moreover,amid a simplification of vehicle powertrains,the differentiated and more profitable product niches currently held by suppliers may fade,giving way to fewer product niches with less differentiation.Figure 1:CS Est.-Battery Electric Vehicle as%

28、ecent years,one of the primary narratives to dominate the automotive industry has been the presumed forthcoming end of the internal combustion engine and the shift to electrification.VWs diesel emissions crisis,greater government and social awareness around climate change,and the growth of Tesla hav
29、e all caused a multitude of parties to embrace a future with reduced or zero emissions.From a regulatory standpoint,a number of governments,in particular in Europe and China,have either proposed or enacted legislation banning the sale of fossil fuel powered vehicles over the next two decades.And whe
30、reas automakers globally once viewed vehicle electrification as nothing more than a novelty,strategy and budgets have significantly shifted in recent years,with nearly all automakers offering some form of plan on electrification whether to meet near-term compliance standards,or to answer the longer-
31、term question of the transition to an emissions-free society.Accordingly,we do not see much of a debate that there will be a future dominated by the electric powertrain,with the current internal combustion engine fading.Yet,with the popular media providing continual coverage on the push toward elect
32、rification,the tone of the debate would make one think that an all-electric future is right around the corner,and that the internal combustion engine has breathed its last breath.RIP internal combustion engine?Not so fast.This is where we offer a differing opinion,with an alternative perspective aro
33、und the timing of transition to electrification.We believe the transition to electrification will take longer than indicated by the hype.We are only in the first inning of the transition fully electric vehicles represented only 1.5%of global light vehicles sold in 2018.And we expect it will take ano
34、ther 30 years for fully electric vehicles to account for the majority of global vehicle sales.Despite the increased focus and commitment of resources from different industry players toward the transition to electrification,we see a number of challenges ahead related to different parties which must b
35、e addressed to enable this transition:At its core,the consumer must want electric vehicles for penetration to inflect.Suitable options meeting consumer needs(in particular around range)are not yet available,and the available options are not yet at price points similar to current internal combustion
36、engine comps.Charging availability is also an issue.Automakers also have a long journey ahead.Nearly all automakers have developed a plan around electrification whether for the mid-term re:compliance,or longer term for an all-electric future and significant resources are being invested and allocated
37、,while the value chain is being revisited.Yet they face a number of challenges:-There is likely a significant margin risk ahead-the cost of an electric powertrain may take another 1-2 decades before reaching parity with a comparable internal combustion powertrain,with margin risk also related to the
38、 26 June 2019 The Challenge of the“Far”:EVs 6 potential negative mix effect from internal combustion engine(ICE1)vehicles to electric vehicles(EVs2),especially in the early days of the shift.-Original Equipment Manufacturers(OEMs3)also face the cost of overhauling their capacity for an electric futu
39、re.Nearly half of manufacturing capacity for automakers today is for engines and transmissions,yet EVs need a far simpler footprint the number of moving parts in an average combustion engine is an order of magnitude(or more)higher than the number of moving parts vs.an electric powertrain,and it take
40、s 30%less time to make an e-drive unit than an engine.The transition will be costly,with challenges on both the social and political fronts.-OEMs also face other challenges-They are still investing in the ICE powertrain(even if the amount is declining),and the transition to electric architectures wi
41、ll take a long time.And on top of that,the dealer base does not yet seem committed to electrification,especially given the risk of lower service business.The ecosystem must also transition.Battery capacity and raw material availability must be secured.More importantly,the build-out of charging infra
42、structure will require significant investment from different parties,and will take time.All in,there are a variety of variables that must be addressed to enable a full tipping point for electrification.And to the extent government regulation requires electrification at a faster pace than dictated by
43、 the cost curve and appeal to consumers,it could create significant inefficiencies across the industry.Given the very long timing of the transition to electrification,what does this mean for automotive industry participants?This very long-term transition will serve as a key challenge for different i
44、ndustry participants,who are balancing the transition alongside a challenging near-term environment for auto industry volumes(with volatility and risk to the downside).Automakers,as discussed above,have a number of challenges they need to address,and will need to invest heavily,while also facing pot
45、ential margin headwinds.As for suppliers,they face a two-fold challenge.First,amid the simplification of vehicle powertrains,the highly profitable differentiated product niches they own within the current vehicle powertrain/drivetrain are likely to fade,and the competitive field they may face on the
46、 powertrain of the future may broaden as the lines of competition get blurred.Moreover,OEMs may increase insourcing,potentially bringing content in-house.They may look to repurpose engine/component capacity with components for the electric powertrain.And with OEMs facing a variety of margin challeng
47、es ahead,and having earned significantly lower margins than suppliers in the current cycle,they may revisit the value chain for the powertrain of the future,potentially bringing content in-house.In short,this will be a difficult and lengthy transition,with a great deal of uncertainty amid a highly r
