EV transition challenges auto supply chain resilience, Moody’s says

Legacy automakers have the added complexity of having to run different supply chains for internal combustion engine, hybrid and EV powertrains.

Why this matters to buyers

The complexity of managing multiple powertrain supply chains may lead to logistical challenges, potential delays, or increased costs for components used across different vehicle types.

Recommended buyer actions

  • Diversify component sourcing to mitigate risks associated with a single automaker's complex supply chain.
  • Engage with suppliers to understand their capacity and flexibility to serve multiple powertrain platforms.
