On the Road with Stuart Rowley

Our European business is leading the charge in its commitment to a fully electric future. But we’ve also been vocal about the scale of the electrification challenge, as well as the critical need for partnership to deliver on the promise of a greener future. Put simply, electrification is a journey that we all need to go on, and there needs to be joint equity amongst all key stakeholders. That’s why, when we talk about partnership, we’re not only talking about other OEMs, but an array of different stakeholders (governments, policymakers, and energy providers), all of whom are vital in ensuring that the transition to electric can take place. 

A critical part of the electric transition is, of course, energy provision and infrastructure. I recently sat down with Centrica CEO, Chris O'Shea, to discuss the collaboration between our two firms, what electrification means for his company, and the collaboration that's needed to get Europe ready to go electric.

This is the first in a series of videos we'll be producing over the coming months; in keeping with this new spirit of partnership and collaboration with other industry players, we’ll be looking to get an outside perspective on some of the big issues and trends of the day. ?
