In this episode of Supplier Soundbytes, Mobility Global’s bite-sized Autology podcast series, we explore how innovation is reshaping the future of mobility - and why materials are becoming central to the next phase of automotive transformation.

The automotive industry is under pressure from all sides. Automakers must deliver vehicles that are lighter, smarter, safer and more sustainable, while also responding to accelerating electrification, changing customer expectations and the need for more resilient, circular supply chains. These challenges cannot be solved through engineering excellence alone. They require new levels of collaboration across the value chain, earlier engagement between suppliers and OEMs, and fresh thinking about how materials can support performance, design, sustainability and user experience all at once.

To discuss these shifts, we are joined by Monique Buch, Chief Commercial Officer at Covestro, a global leader in high-performance polymer materials. Covestro works closely with automotive manufacturers and suppliers to develop advanced material solutions that support vehicle design, durability, safety and lower-carbon production.

Monique explains why the industry must move beyond treating lightweighting, sustainability, safety and design as separate priorities. Instead, the greatest opportunities will come from integrated solutions that solve multiple challenges simultaneously. She also discusses what true co-innovation looks like, why suppliers need to be involved earlier in the development process, and how advanced materials are helping redefine the in-vehicle experience - from acoustics and lighting to comfort, touch and perceived quality.

Finally, the episode looks ahead to circularity as a business imperative. Monique highlights the need for system-level collaboration across OEMs, suppliers, recyclers and material producers to build future-ready value chains capable of supporting the next generation of mobility.

Artificial intelligence has long been a staple of automotive futurism. Yet for much of the past decade, its role in the car was more promise than reality. That is beginning to change. As vehicles become increasingly software-defined, AI is moving from the periphery of the driving experience to its centre, reshaping how motorists interact with their cars and how manufacturers think about value, safety and differentiation.

In this Autology episode of Supplier Soundbytes, we explore how AI is transforming the modern cockpit. From natural-language voice assistants and personalised media settings to driver-monitoring systems and predictive navigation, the technology is already helping to reduce friction behind the wheel. But the most important shift may be less visible: the emergence of intelligent systems capable of understanding context, adapting to user needs and coordinating multiple vehicle functions in real time.

Joining the discussion is Marcus Futterlieb, Director of Technology Management for AI Orchestration at HARMAN. He argues that the future of automotive AI will not be defined by ever-larger models or more sophisticated chatbots. Rather, success will depend on using the right intelligence for the right task - balancing cloud-based services, embedded software and deterministic systems to deliver experiences that are useful, reliable and affordable.

The conversation examines the growing importance of AI orchestration, the challenge of building trust through privacy-conscious design and the opportunities emerging in areas such as driver well-being and personalised vehicle experiences. It also looks ahead to a future in which cars continue to evolve long after leaving the factory, supported by software architectures designed for continuous improvement.

The destination is becoming clearer. Drivers are unlikely to care whether a feature is powered by generative AI, machine learning or conventional software. They will simply expect vehicles that understand them better, anticipate their needs and make every journey safer and easier. The race is now on to deliver exactly that.

The automotive industry has spent much of the past decade debating a seemingly simple question: what comes after the internal-combustion engine? The answer, it turns out, is proving rather more complicated than many expected.

Not long ago, the direction of travel appeared settled. Governments set ambitious targets, manufacturers committed billions to electrification and battery-powered vehicles seemed destined to dominate the roads. Yet reality has been less straightforward. Infrastructure has developed unevenly, consumer demand has varied by region and new questions have emerged about cost, practicality and energy security. As a result, the industry's future increasingly looks less like a race towards a single destination and more like a contest among several competing technologies.

In this Autology episode of Supplier Soundbytes, we explore how engineering priorities are shifting in response. Joining us is John Hollingworth, Sales and Marketing Director at MAHLE Powertrain, a company that has deliberately positioned itself as technology-agnostic in an era of rapid change.

The discussion ranges widely across the evolving propulsion landscape. We examine the renewed interest in range-extender electric vehicles, the role hydrogen combustion could play in heavy-duty transport and off-highway applications, and the prospects for renewable and synthetic fuels. We also consider a subject that rarely captures headlines but increasingly determines vehicle performance: thermal management, which sits at the heart of everything from battery efficiency to passenger comfort.

Beyond powertrains, the conversation explores how automotive engineering itself is changing. As vehicles become more software-defined, connected and continuously updated throughout their lifecycles, testing, validation and development processes are being transformed.

The central message is clear. Rather than converging on a single technological winner, the industry may be entering a period of greater diversity. The future of mobility, argues Hollingworth, will depend less on finding one universal solution and more on matching the right technology to the right vehicle, market and use case.

In the next phase of automotive competition, the decisive breakthroughs may come not from the showroom or the software stack, but from the materials lab. Artificial intelligence is often discussed as if it were a software story. In automotive engineering, it is becoming something broader and more consequential. It is beginning to change how materials are discovered, how components are tested, how batteries are improved and how manufacturers make decisions under pressure.

The car, after all, is not a single invention but a stack of them: atoms, alloys, cells, packs, structures, systems and software, all required to work together at scale, safely and profitably. That multi-layer reality is where AI’s usefulness stops being theoretical. In practice, it is about finding better answers faster across the whole pipeline—turning data into decisions, and decisions into prototypes.

That makes vehicle development an unusually fertile ground for AI. Much of engineering still depends on slow cycles of trial, error and expert judgement: make a sample, run a test, interpret the result, adjust the design, and begin again. Simulations help, but they can be expensive and time-consuming. Data exists, but it is often messy, fragmented or collected too late to shape the most important decisions.

AI promises to compress some of those cycles. Used well, it can spot patterns in experimental data, suggest better materials, connect manufacturing conditions with performance, and help engineers make earlier, more confident choices. Used badly, it risks becoming another expensive black box. The difference lies less in fashionable algorithms than in disciplined engineering: good data, clear objectives, traceable results and adoption inside real workflows—so the gains show up where production and performance are decided.

That is the backdrop to the latest Autology episode of Supplier Soundbytes from Mobility Global, featuring Isaac Squires, founder and chief executive of Polaron. Spun out of Imperial College London, Polaron applies generative machine learning to accelerate the design and optimisation of advanced materials.

That is the backdrop to this latest episode of Supplier Soundbytes from S&P Global Mobility, featuring Andy Travers, chief executive of Ceres Holographics. The company's proposition is deceptively simple: rather than bolting ever more screens into the dashboard, embed holographic optical films directly into the windshield itself, turning the glass into part of the display architecture.

The implications, however, are rather larger than another iteration of the conventional head-up display. Travers argues that legacy HUD systems have reached something close to their functional ceiling, constrained as much by limited user experience as by hardware. The next phase, he suggests, will depend less on projecting more information and more on deciding which information matters — and when.

The conversation ranges from the misuse of the term "holographic" to the practical realities of integrating optical films into automotive glass supply chains. But beneath the technical detail sits a broader strategic question for carmakers: if the windshield becomes a dynamic digital surface, who controls the value - the optics specialists enabling the display, or the software platforms determining the experience?

For OEMs, the message is clear. The technology may now be ready. The industry's imagination, perhaps, is still catching up.

For years, the idea of removing the mechanical link between the steering wheel and the road wheels felt more like a concept-car talking point than a near-term engineering reality. Yet in the latest episode of Supplier Soundbytes, S&P Global Mobility's concise Autology podcast series, that assumption is challenged. Our guest is Jake Morris, portfolio director for steer-by-wire at ZF Group, and his message is straightforward: The conditions that once delayed steer-by-wire have largely disappeared.

The key shift lies in the rapid emergence of the software-defined vehicle. Modern electric platforms increasingly rely on centralized computing architectures, advanced electronics and integrated control systems. In such an environment, the steering system is no longer an isolated mechanical device but part of a broader digital ecosystem that governs how a car moves.

That change matters. Traditional steering relies on a physical column linking the steering wheel to the front axle. Steer-by-wire replaces this connection with electronic signals, sensors and actuators. For decades, concerns about safety, redundancy and reliability kept the technology at bay. Today, Morris argues, those concerns have largely been addressed. Production-ready systems now feature redundant safety architectures and high-integrity actuators designed to meet stringent global standards.

If the technology itself is largely solved, the real challenge has shifted elsewhere: integration.

For carmakers, adopting steer-by-wire is less about replacing a single component than about rethinking how multiple vehicle systems interact. Steering must work seamlessly with braking, propulsion and suspension control. The aim is not simply functional integration but coordinated vehicle dynamics — what suppliers increasingly describe as "motion control."

This shift carries strategic implications for manufacturers. Carmakers must ensure that their vehicles retain a distinctive driving character even as control systems become more software-driven and modular. In other words, the digitalization of steering should not erase brand identity. Achieving that balance requires common control architectures that allow scale across platforms while preserving the nuances that differentiate one brand from another.

Yet the most striking implications of steer-by-wire may lie beyond the engineering department.

Once the mechanical steering column disappears, designers gain freedoms that were previously impossible. Without a shaft running from the cockpit to the front axle, vehicle packaging becomes more flexible. Crash structures can be re-engineered, cabin layouts reconsidered and interior design reimagined.

The driver experience changes as well. Steering characteristics — such as ratio, responsiveness and feedback — can be tuned entirely through software. At low speeds, the system can prioritize manoeuvrability; at high speeds, stability. Over-the-air updates may even allow manufacturers to refine steering feel long after the vehicle leaves the factory.

In the longer term, steer-by-wire also aligns neatly with the ambitions of automated driving. A steering wheel that is no longer mechanically connected can retract, remain stationary or operate differently depending on the driving mode.

For Morris, the conclusion is clear. Steer-by-wire is not merely a technical upgrade but a foundational element of the next generation of vehicles. As deployments begin across major automotive markets this year, the technology will generate real-world data and feedback, accelerating further development.

In that sense, the real story is not about removing a mechanical linkage. It is about transforming the chassis from a collection of components into an intelligent, software-coordinated system — one that promises new levels of adaptability, efficiency and design freedom.

And after years of anticipation, the industry appears ready to steer in that direction.

No longer. As supply chains fray and industrial policies harden, rare earths have been recast as instruments of national security. Control over them increasingly shapes trade policy, investment screening and corporate strategy. Carmakers that once asked how "green" their materials were now ask how secure they are. The shift is subtle but profound: from carbon accounting to strategic resilience.

That is the backdrop to the latest episode of Supplier Soundbytes, part of S&P Global Mobility's Autology series. In it, Ahmad Ghahreman, founder and chief executive of Cyclic Materials, argues that the future of electromobility may depend less on what is mined than on what is recovered.

The numbers explain the anxiety. The bulk of rare-earth mining — and an even greater share of processing — takes place in a single country. Deposits elsewhere are often deep, dispersed or environmentally fraught. Even when ores are dug up outside Asia, they are frequently shipped back there for separation and refining. The result is a supply chain that is efficient in calm times, but brittle in turbulent ones.

Ghahreman's contention is that recycling offers not merely an environmental salve but a strategic hedge. Unlike mining, which is hostage to geology, recycling is governed by product cycles and policy choices. End-of-life motors, wind turbines and electronics constitute what he calls an "overground deposit" — a stock of material already extracted, processed and embedded in goods now reaching obsolescence. In North America and Europe, that urban mine is growing quietly each year.

Particularly striking is the distinction between light and heavy rare earths. The latter, vital for high-performance magnets, are more geologically concentrated and more tightly controlled. Yet over decades of importing finished products, Western economies have effectively accumulated sizeable above-ground reserves of these same heavy elements. Well-executed recycling can tap that stock far faster than a new mine can be permitted, financed and built.

Still, bottlenecks abound. Mining is constrained by geology and permitting; processing by capital intensity and technical know-how; end-of-life recovery by fragmented collection systems and products never designed for disassembly. Asked where the pinch point will be as EV volumes rise, Ghahreman's answer is disarmingly comprehensive: all of the above.

That breadth of constraint sharpens the case for circularity. A local recycling loop, he says, shortens supply chains and anchors value domestically. It also alters the calculus for carmakers choosing motor technologies. A magnet that is marginally more efficient but dependent on a precarious supply may look less attractive once strategic risk is priced in.

Yet, redesigning every vehicle for easy rare earth recovery is unrealistic. Global platforms, tight margins and long development cycles conspire against bespoke recyclability. Cyclic Materials has instead pursued what Ghahreman calls a "feedstock-agnostic" approach: technology capable of handling mixed materials — copper, aluminum, steel, plastics and magnets — without demanding that manufacturers reengineer their products first.

The implication is pragmatic. Waiting for perfect design standards may delay circularity for a generation, while building robust, adaptable processing capacity could accelerate it within this decade.

The message is clear enough. In the contest for clean mobility, rare earths have moved from the margins to the center, and the winners may be those who treat yesterday's waste as tomorrow's strategic reserve.

In Supplier Soundbytes, S&P Global Mobility's new concise podcast series, industry executives dissect the forces reshaping the automotive supply chain. In this episode, Dr Moritz Neukirchner, Senior Director, Head of Cross-Portfolio Growth and Strategic Alliances for Elektrobit, argues that AI agents are poised to become the organising interface of the software-defined vehicle (SDV)—not a decorative add-on, but a functional necessity.

At the 2026 CES in Las Vegas, carmakers and suppliers showcased AI copilots designed not merely to chat, but to manage the growing complexity of the modern vehicle—adjusting drive modes, configuring advanced driver-assistance systems, personalising cabin settings and navigating increasingly layered infotainment menus through natural conversation. The ambition is less about booking dinner than orchestrating the car itself. Yet, as Dr Neukirchner observes, the leap from demonstration to dependable deployment is slower than the hype suggests.

The obstacle is not only technical. It reflects the awkward realities of regulation, computing power and trust. Privacy regimes differ sharply between Europe, America and China. Carmakers must decide which data may leave the vehicle and which must remain within it. The emerging answer is "edge AI": inference performed inside the car. Processing on board reduces latency, limits data-transfer costs and helps satisfy regulators wary of cloud dependency.

Yet the cloud will remain indispensable. Training models, pushing updates and handling compute-intensive workloads will continue to rely on remote infrastructure. The likely outcome is a hybrid architecture, with responsibilities divided between vehicle and server according to use case and jurisdiction.

Beneath the technical debate lies a larger shift. As vehicles become more software-driven, their functionality grows more intricate. Without a new interface, complexity risks overwhelming the driver. AI agents, argues Dr Neukirchner, may become the layer that renders the SDV usable. In that sense, they are less a novelty than a necessity.

Key takeaways:

• Striking a balance between protecting domestic industries and fostering healthy competition is paramount for the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the battery market.
• Governments must create economic conditions and environmental incentives to nurture companies and support innovation for cleaner, greener, and diversified supply chains.
• Collaboration is key in diversifying the supply chain from China and creating independent know-how and supply chains in North America.
• China's dominance in the battery industry presents a challenge, but there is still huge growth potential in the EV and energy storage sectors in North America.
• Demand for batteries, battery materials, and critical minerals exceeds supply, indicating a strong market opportunity.
• Governments must foster growth, opportunity, and competitiveness with policy that levels the support for LFP and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries.
• Americans should add phosphorus and iron to the list of critical minerals to incentivize supply chain diversification.
• Support for innovation that addresses the need for cleaner, greener, and diversified supply chains is crucial.
• Collaboration between governments, investors, and the battery sector is essential to support innovation and foster growth in the industry. This collaboration should focus on developing economic conditions and environmental incentives that nurture companies and promote competitiveness. By learning from other expert nations and restricting ownership, North America can develop its own independent know-how and supply chains.
• Customization of supply chains for the region's specific needs and conditions is crucial for success. This approach will enable North America to compete with China's dominance in the battery market and achieve a secure and cost-competitive supply chain.
