Manage episode 479717212 series 3628896
Speaker: Gregory Skinner, Escalent, Vice President, Strategic Insights
Gregory Skinner from Escalant discusses success strategies for the commercial vehicle market during uncertain times by drawing parallels with the passenger car industry. While passenger cars are evolving towards software-defined vehicles focused on user experience, commercial vehicles offer significant opportunities in enhancing functionality through modularity, flexibility, and usability. Key strategies for the commercial vehicle space include standardization, a flexible understanding of "upfit," avoiding proprietary equipment, and expanding the dealer's role to include "upfit as a service," online presence, and consultative support. Collaboration across the industry is crucial to build an adaptable marketplace that meets evolving customer needs. The core message emphasizes a move towards more versatile commercial vehicles and a more integrated role for dealers in facilitating customization and ongoing support.
