    Servicing vehicles in an EV era: How US dealers can meet customer needs

    Servicing vehicles in an EV era: How US dealers can meet customer needs Electric vehicle (EV) sales are rising rapidly across the globe, but in the US, where the traditional dealership forms a crucial part of the country’s social framework, the rise in EV adoption is leading to some unique challenges for dealers and their service departments. Factors such as technology improvements and improved information for consumers are helping to eradicate adoption barriers such as range anxiety and battery performance. For consumers, the benefits of lower maintenance costs are also fueling the rapid rise in EV sales in the US. But the introduction of EVs into dealership service centers brings new challenges. OEMs and their dealer networks must invest in new equipment, and train or employ specialist EV technicians to use it. And the reduction in maintenance requirements for EVs compared with ICE vehicles means businesses see their customers less often and need to find innovative solutions to keep drivers loyal to the dealer and the brand. Across the country, some of the more successful dealerships are driving customer engagement in new ways, such as by educating EV drivers on the specific needs of their vehicles, or by delivering more targeted, customer-focused services in the most convenient way possible. In this podcast, Mike Bowe, Director, Aftermarket Sales and Service Operations, MSX, invites speakers Jorge Rodriguez, Parts and Service Director, Capitol Chevrolet; Ken Stewart, CEO, Bright Road; and Morgan Sutter, Electric Vehicle Specialist, MSX, to discuss brand loyalty in an EV era, and how US dealers can offer the knowledge, convenience, and customer experience that consumers demand.

    Racing towards an electric future

    The automotive sector has witnessed a meteoric rise in the number of EV sales in the last 12 months. While this is a positive transformation, OEMs continue to face multiple challenges as they race to adapt their operational, retail and aftersales models. The future of EVs is certain. Their development supports a necessary reduction in CO2 emissions worldwide, providing clean alternatives to internal combustion engines (ICE). Batteries are becoming cheaper and have a longer lifespan, and infrastructure is continually improving. For the consumer, they are less expensive to run and maintain, and attractive new models are released regularly, making EVs highly desirable in today’s market. But while sales have accelerated, there are still challenges to overcome. Purchase prices are dropping, but EVs still remain more costly to buy and set up than ICE alternatives. Range anxiety can be off-putting for consumers, especially in rural areas where there are fewer charging stations. And traditional automotive companies must invest heavily in the adjustments needed to support a fully electric future. In our latest MSX Live webcast, MSX experts Jayesh Jagasia, Retail Performance SME , and Andrea Sorrenti, Vice President, Americas, will be joined by Luca Fontanelli, Chief Executive Officer of E-GAP – a mobile charging services provider for EVs. They will discuss the common misconceptions surrounding EVs and additional topics such as charging infrastructure, the ability of electricity companies to support the EV load, and concepts such as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.

    A case for genuine parts: Combating the decline in collision repair revenue

    The pandemic has had a profound impact on the collision sector. Data shows a startling reduction in body shop repair estimate volumes across Europe. The reduction in business has led to financial distress for collision repairers, both for independent repairers and networks. Despite a slow increase in volumes in recent months, repairers are still operating on reduced revenue. The knock-on effects to workshops and parts suppliers have been significant, in some instances resulting in closures and job losses. And they have resulted in a reduction in OEM parts sales to collision repair centers or body shops. However, evidence shows that the collision repair businesses making strategic, customer-focused decisions are those most likely to survive the pandemic. Organizations most able to adapt are the ones who will find new ways to maximize their profitability. In this podcast, Andy Mills, Global Product Director Parts and Service, MSX, and his guests, Tony Bartlett, Senior UK Account Manager, MSX; Paul Collins, Collision Development Manager, MSX; Glyn Jones, Group Estimating Manager at KC Autos; and Pablo Linares, Director of Solutions Consulting and Innovation, GT Motive, discuss how the collision repair industry can better manage parts supply and insurance relationships, and overturn the downward trend in the use of genuine parts. “It’s key that there’s communication between the OEMs and the networks, that they can work together and come to an agreement about increasing the fitment of OEM parts.” Tony Bartlett, Senior UK Account Manager, MSX

    Managing long distance relationships in automotive sales

    As COVID-19 enforces social distancing between sales teams and their potential customers, manufacturers have accelerated the introduction of digital and remote selling models.  But studies reveal that many customers who are buying cars continue to want one-to-one interactions with real people.  For OEMs and dealerships, it’s more important than ever to win customer trust. Consumers want convenience and are comfortable with the online services they experience within other retail environments. But the automotive industry is far less known for its personalized, end-to-end digital experiences. So how do automotive businesses introduce new services to cautious consumers without losing the benefits of human interaction?  In our latest podcast, Philip Junge, Head of Customer Engagement, MSX, is joined by Stefanie Senger, Executive Director at Autohaus-Gruppe Senger , one of the largest dealerships in Germany, and Fredrik Johnsson, Chief Strategy Office at Whisbi, global provider of a mobile conversational sales and marketing platform . They discuss the ways in which businesses can make better choices about the technologies they choose, the way they implement them and how they engage employees in digital processes to help win customer trust and encourage sales.  “Take your employees with you on the journey. If they don't see any use in the new offerings and processes, they won't hold onto it and it's probably no good anyway.” Stefanie Senger, Executive Director at Autohaus-Gruppe Senger
