SGS and SAE present the Southern Automotive Roadshow

Today’s automotive industry is at a crossroads – ramping up production of Electric and Autonomous Vehicles, while continuing to meet current market demands for traditional vehicles with Internal Combustion Engines. While manufacturing and assembly challenges differ, there is growing pressure for suppliers to take a more holistic approach, regardless of propulsion system, consisting of integrating Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety, Security and Safety, to ultimately maximize efficiencies and stabilize production.
 
SGS has teamed up with SAE International and other automotive industry leaders to bring the Southern Automotive Roadshow to suppliers across the South. These workshops will include discussions around the new industry requirements including Cybersecurity, TISAX and Functional Safety and how they can best be integrated into your current systems.
