The situation in the industry

What it is about right now

Funding can be planned for years ahead and procurement is being accelerated. The bottleneck is now in manufacturing: deep in the supply chain at specialised sub-suppliers, in raw materials and electronics, in test capacity and skilled staff. On top of that, many automotive suppliers want to enter defence and need to rebuild their quality system, security clearance and export control to do so.
