Stellantis Debut Highlights Growth in EV Industry and Others For UBS marketing purposes Peugeot E-2008 full electric SUV. The ongoing transformation of the auto industry will likely lead to more consolidation. (Keystone) Sustainable Investments Stellantis debut highlights growth in EV industry and others 19 January 2021, 10:08 am CET, written by Andrew Thompson Shares of the Italian-American and French auto group Stellantis debuted in the Milan and Paris stock markets on Monday and will start trading on the NYSE on Tuesday after completing a USD 52bn merger. The global automotive sector will need to invest billions of dollars over the coming years in the electrification of vehicles, which will likely lead to further consolidation. But the accelerated adoption of new technologies in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the growing awareness of environmental and health topics will likely also create significant opportunities beyond the auto sector. The new Stellantis group, which brings together Peugeot (PSA) and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) with combined annual sales of roughly 8.1 million vehicles, will be the third biggest global automotive player after Volkswagen and Toyota, ahead of US rivals GM and Ford. With 14 brands under its helm, Stellantis is set to play a key role in the industry’s jump into the era of electrification. Competition among mass manufacturers is heating up. Volkswagen plans to invest about EUR 50bn in its electric vehicle line-up over the coming years. BMW has said it aims to double its sales of fully-electric vehicles this year, and targets a 50% increase in sales of electrified vehicles including plug-in hybrids in 2021. Meanwhile, General Motors has said it would invest some USD 800mn to convert its CAMI assembly plant in Canada into the country’s first large-scale commercial electric vehicle manufacturing site. Regardless of who comes out on top in the automotive industry's ongoing transformation, we see significant opportunities for investors arising from the growing global awareness about environmental and health issues, which should have significant effects on the automotive industry as well as other sectors. Smart mobility: We expect that around USD 400bn in revenue could be generated in the smart mobility arena. More than half of this revenue is attributable to electrification – an eight or nine-fold increase over today – whereby the share of pure For UBS marketing purposes electric cars is expected to rise to around one quarter in the same period. Other future trends also include autonomous driving and car sharing. We advise investors in smart mobility to invest in a broadly diversified selection of stocks in order to minimize company and technology-specific risks. Positions in automotive sector stocks should also be reviewed, as these could be impacted as a whole by a far-reaching shift. For further details, please see our report on "Smart Mobility". Greentech: With its new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the EU intends to significantly increase the share of renewables in its energy mix, which should especially benefit investments in solar and wind energy. Electricity produced from renewable energy suppliers will also be used in future for other technologies, such as electric cars and hydrogen production. "Green" hydrogen will no doubt evolve into a key technology in the coming decades. The EU's hydrogen strategy envisages the installation of at least 40 gigawatt of renewable hydrogen electrolyzers by 2030. You can find more on this topic in our report "Investing in Europe's greentech leaders". For more on how to invest in "The Next Big Thing" click here. Sustainable investing: Sustainable portfolios performed well in the last market setback and are likely to continue doing so in future. As a way out of the crisis, governments worldwide are increasingly investing in green projects. The EU is forging ahead with its European Green Deal, whereby it has earmarked around one third of the total budget of EUR 1.8 trillion for direct investments in climate protection. Meanwhile, President-elect Joe Biden has declared that his administration plans to rejoin the Paris Agreement and while it is unlikely that the Democrats' narrow majority in the Senate will enable them to pass the initially announced USD 2tr climate change plan, we expect continued regulatory, legislative, and fiscal support for environmentally related themes. All of this should have a significant impact on sustainable investments. You can find more on this here. While the transformation of the automotive industry is currently grabbing headlines, we see also great potential in other areas and industries dealing with environmental and health topics as well as in sustainable investments. The pandemic shows in our view that this is no short-term phenomenon, but a long-term trend that investors should exploit.

  • Evaluating the US Position in the Global Electric Vehicle Transition
    BRIEFING © 2021 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION JUNE 2021 Power play: Evaluating the U.S. position in the global electric vehicle transition Prepared by: Anh Bui, Peter Slowik, Nic Lutsey This briefing evaluates the U.S. position in the emerging global light-duty electric vehicle industry. The briefing analyzes U.S. vehicle manufacturing plants and automaker commitments to transitioning to electric vehicle production and compares these developments with those happening globally. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Global momentum to shift entirely to electric vehicles continues. National governments such as those of Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom, have announced their intention to transition to all electric vehicle sales in the 2025–2050 time frame.1 To accelerate the transition to electric, governments are setting clear targets and implementing various regulatory, consumer, and industrial policies to overcome the barriers to widespread adoption. The world’s stock of electric passenger vehicles surpassed 10 million in 2020. Figure 1 shows global growth in electric vehicle sales from 2010 through 2020, which have increased from a few thousand in 2010 to more than 3.1 million in 2020.2 Electric vehicles, including both battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), represented about 4.2% of all new passenger vehicles sold worldwide in 2020. Relative sales in the major regions are shown by the different colors in www.theicct.org Figure 1, such that the two North American markets are shades of blue, the seven European markets are shades of green, and the three Asian markets are shades of red.
