However, the industry's transition from a vehicle-centric to a service-centric approach necessitates the development of new digital platforms (software, back-haul connectivity, and cloud). Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis finds that future modular EV platforms will be flexible and multifaceted, with various vehicle types and shapes built on a single program, saving OEMs the time, effort, and money required to launch new models. The study examines emerging market trends, platform development's collaborative approach, new business models for platforms, and growth opportunities.
