Driving the Future

Leading the conversation in this episode of Driving the Future is Emmanuelle Bischoffe-Cluzel - Vice President and Sustainability Lead in the Global Automotive Industry at Capgemini. Emmanuelle defines what sustainability is today, which milestones have been achieved over the last few years and initiatives keeping her busy today for a greener industry tomorrow.Joining Emmanuelle is Laurence Montanari - Vice President for Transportation and Mobility at Dassault Systèmes. Laurence tells us all about the attempt to introduce electric cars in the last century and the challenges they faced which didn’t see them succeed. She tells us about the rate of change within the automotive industry and how in her 30 year career she now feels like she is working today within the tech industry. Together the conversation covers a wide range of topics which amongst them include the weight of cars and how that alone has a bearing upon green credentials. They discuss disposing of batteries and how parts can be better reused. Then they cover much wider topics such as infrastructure, carbon initiatives and the influence of gigafactories. Lastly we focus on people and talent within the industry, what are they expected to do today and how can they better upskill for the future.

In this episode of Driving the Future, hosted by Frank Wammes - Chief Operating Officer for Sogeti division of Capgemini - we’re looking at batteries and how they can work in the automotive sector. This is combining the technology of a software defined vehicle, to create a revolutionary battery defined vehicle. Frank is joined by Jonas Boehm - Vice President for Mobility at TWAICE. Based in Germany, but with sites in USA, TWAICE are a company who coined the term Battery Analytics. Through their research and innovations, coupled with artificial intelligence, they have created a battery where its lifetime, reliability and ultimately safety too can be monitored in real time. In this conversation, Frank and Jonas discuss use cases from battery defined vehicles, the challenges which they’ve faced and the results which could not have been achieved without this technology. They naturally discuss talent within the industry and motivations for joining TWAICE as a career development, plus they talk about what they look for in individuals.
