Services, not the sale of vehicles, will soon deliver the bulk of profits in the automotive industry. Companies working in the auto industry need to change their businesses fast – and that includes financial services. We brought together some of the key players to explore the implications of the impending second automotive revolution, at a recent online conference.

Why? Because a second automotive revolution is on the horizon.
