Automotive Analysis

Two decades of experience

Redspy has a 20-year track record of delivering strategic analysis to the automotive industry, specialising in the fields of:

  • Product planning and market analysis, including business plans for new models
  • Technology for electric vehicles (BEV, FCEV) and Connected & Automated Mobility
  • Grant funding advice and bid writing

    Since 2014, Redspy has worked for the UK Government to help strengthen the UK car industry. As part of that agreement, Redspy is not allowed to talk to the media, but some links from earlier years demonstrate Redspy's knowledge of the industry:

     

    Bloomberg interview, 2011: The forecasts for the future were that "One Ford" was high-risk, and Fiat faced the deepest strategic problems in Europe.
    AM Conference, 2011: Discussing the nature of premium brands and the fact that, contrary to popular belief, the rise of the premium tide did not float all boats.
    AM article 2014: What counts as a "mainstream" car manufacturer in a world of fragmenting segments?
    AM article 2014: The future of UK powertrain manufacturing.

    • Volvo (UK)
      • Citroen (UK)

      Redspy also wrote the full business plan for a new OEM in 2020, covering market analysis, product planning/positioning and sales volume forecast by territory. Redspy also introduced the OEM to many of their major UK suppliers.

      Redspy is also used by agencies who are pitching for business from car manufacturers. We are asked to help identify the key issues facing both manufacturers and specific models, in order that agencies can deepen their understanding.
