About the Talk

Sharing insights from over 40 years in the automobile industry, Andy Palmer will share his perspective on the transformational change we have seen, and are seeing, in the global automobile business. Exploring Japanese dominance in the 1980s, globalisation in the 1990s and 2000s, and the shift to electric and net zero we are seeing today, Andy will delve into how it all happened and what is coming next.
