PJ Tips Podcast with guest Automotive Engineer, Designer and Strategist Ian Digman 'The Game Changing Technology & Options coming to your Car ...'
Our thirst for the freedom to travel at will causes many challenges against the back drop of climate change, behaviours and manufacturing, so how can we solve the multiple challenges and retain our freedom, and at what price?
Are Electric Vehicles the answer to our mobility?
Whats better for the environment, a new EV or an old 100,000 mile diesel - is new the best option?
Who is responsible for leading and delivering a more sustainable mobility agenda?
Indeed, should car companies selling as many cars as they do?
These and other questions are covered in this conversation with guest Ian Digman. Ian is an automotive engineer by education and has spent the last three decades in the industry. He has worked in functions ranging from advance concept development and strategy through to production and marketing. And has worked across Europe, Asia and Middle East in global corporations and small start-ups alike, including time at Ford, Nissan and McLaren.
He is now an independent consultant and joined the podcast to share his passion and knowledge of the industry as it goes through a once in a lifetime revolution.
I invited Ian because I'm fascinated by the power of collaboration, the eco-system and infrastructure, and equally baffled and challenged by its seemingly lack up connectivity, direction and ownership. Example, charging points placed in areas, such as underground parking where the mobile signal fails, making it a challenge to download the app to use the charger.
I was also hoping he'd tell us about some the superstars and characters in the automotive industry.... the good leaders and the not so good!!
How do leaders need to respond, how will behaviours need to change regarding EV Sustainability as a model for change. In your view, who is doing it well?
Do you think people will continue to own cars, will we move to a subscription or rental based model?
Given the unprecedented changes globally, perhaps we will be jumping in and out or Ubers or flying in Jetsons spaceships?
I love ICE cars, the sound of a normally aspirated V12, the whine of a supercharger on a monster V8..... these emotions are deep in me, but aren't the future. So what is? Ian has a whole bunch of ideas and insights.
If you have any questions or feedback, please get in touch with me pj @ pjstevens.co.uk
