Digitalisation Roadmap
In early 2020, BEIS funded a refresh of product and technology roadmaps initially created in 2015 for the Automotive Council. The Advanced Propulsion Centre has led this refresh and commissioned IDE UK, as the APC Spoke Lead for ‘Digital Engineering an Test’, to deliver a Digitalisation Roadmap on behalf of the UK Automotive Council and The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

Nine months’ work has gone into creating this Roadmap. Whilst IDE has coordinated and led the engagement activities to create the roadmap, it has very much been informed and developed by the industry, with contributions from some of the best minds in their fields, many of them outside our traditional automotive world. It is the most thorough manifestation of a Digitalisation Roadmap in any sector, in any nation. It is one of two Automotive Council Roadmaps that specifically has a People theme, recognising that Leadership, Culture, Skills, and Workforce transformation, are all critical challenges in its delivery.
