Description

The automotive industry is experiencing a significant transformation, transitioning from conventional to software-defined vehicles. As vehicles develop into intelligent, connected platforms driven by electrification, autonomous driving technologies, and digital services, traditional original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are confronted with increasing complexity in design, integration, and delivery, leading to substantial financial expenditures. In this scenario, Tier 0.5 suppliers are emerging as crucial enablers, effectively bridging the gap between Tier I component suppliers and OEMs by providing comprehensive and integrated vehicle platforms that combine hardware, embedded software, and system-level intelligence based on driving behavior.

Unlike traditional Tier I suppliers, Tier 0.5 suppliers deliver modular vehicle architectures that facilitate expedited time-to-market, scalability, personalized customization, and continuous upgradeability, thereby establishing themselves as essential partners for the development of electric vehicles and software-defined vehicles in this new era of mobility. These platforms frequently encompass vital subsystems such as by-wire systems, battery integration, centralized computing, and connectivity, rendering them foundational for the implementation of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving capabilities.

As OEMs transition to lifecycle-based revenue models that capitalize on over-the-air updates, feature-on-demand services, and platform business strategies, Tier 0.5 suppliers provide the architectural flexibility and rapid time-to-market needed to stay competitive in this changing space. By enabling OEMs to concentrate on brand development, user experience, and digital ecosystems while managing the intricacies of integrated vehicle development, Tier 0.5 suppliers are becoming increasingly vital strategic partners in redefining the future of mobility.

This report offers insights into the changing role of Tier 0.5 suppliers in the automotive value chain. The base year is 2024, and the study period is from 2024 to 2030.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
