How digital wallets are driving the connected car economy with Mercedes, Nissan, J.P. Morgan and Nomura Greentech

On day two at MOVE America 2024, experts from Mercedes, Nissan, J.P. Morgan, and Nomura Greentech discussed the evolving role of digital wallets in the connected car economy. The panel explored how in-car payments are simplifying services like parking, tolling, and fueling, while also posing new challenges for automakers and financial institutions.

Jana Breitkopf, Managing Director of Mercedes Pay, highlighted the importance of enhancing the customer experience. “Digital wallets are the natural solution for seamless, secure transactions,” she said. “Paying from the dashboard eliminates the inconvenience of entering card details and boosts security. People just want to complete their transaction quickly and easily.”

Nandith Nandakumar, Deputy Program Director for Connected Car Services at Nissan North America, agreed but emphasized safety concerns. “We need to ensure a seamless and safe experience for our customers. If they encounter one bad interaction, they may never use the system again,” he noted.

Richard Hawwa, Managing Director at Nomura Greentech, questioned the necessity of vehicle-based payments. “Why should payments go through the car?” he asked. “Automakers should focus on building great cars, and banks should manage the digital wallets. The real value lies in payments for parking and tolling, not just fueling.”

Rob Abrams, Global Head of Mobility Payments at J.P. Morgan, spoke about the integration of various services. “The true innovation is bringing payments for parking, tolling, and fueling together. The best outcome is when users forget there’s a bank involved—it just works,” he explained.

As automakers and financial institutions collaborate, it’s clear that digital wallets are not only simplifying transactions but also transforming the way drivers interact with their vehicles.

Building resilience across the supply chain with GM, Panasonic Energy, USDOT, DSV and Stardust Power

Building resilience across the supply chain with GM, Panasonic Energy, USDOT, DSV and Stardust Power

As supply chains face growing complexities and disruptions, industry leaders are rethinking strategies to build resilience. At a recent panel discussion, executives from General Motors, Panasonic Energy, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), DSV, and Stardust Power shared their perspectives on strengthening the supply chain through collaboration, innovation, and smarter data management.

Uday Devasper, CFO of Stardust Power, underscored the importance of harnessing domestic resources, particularly in critical minerals. “The U.S. has significant lithium reserves, but lacks the refining capacity to bring them to market. We aim to change that,” Devasper noted, highlighting the need for local supply chains to reduce dependency on foreign imports.

Allison Dane Camden, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multimodal Freight Infrastructure & Policy at USDOT, spoke about the government’s role in supporting the private sector. “While supply chains are largely run by private actors, our investments through the bipartisan infrastructure law in ports, highways, and airports are crucial for resilience,” she said. Public-private partnerships are key to optimizing infrastructure and addressing bottlenecks in logistics.

Eva Ames, VP at DSV, highlighted how data can transform the supply chain. “Supply chains are complex, especially with battery production, which can involve over 50 different companies. We need technological solutions and better integration,” she explained. Ames stressed that improved data sharing and government support are critical to simplifying and securing the supply chain.

Jeff Morrison, SVP of Global Purchasing & Supply Chain at General Motors, emphasized smarter supply chain management over stockpiling. “Instead of building large inventory buffers, we’re focused on improving resilience through data-driven strategies,” Morrison said, pointing to the importance of optimizing material flow while minimizing excess.

Panasonic Energy’s Chief Supply Chain Officer, Robert Winans, echoed the importance of visibility and data. “Our materials travel from Asia, across the ocean, and through domestic routes. The challenge is ensuring seamless movement and knowing where everything is,” Winans said. He highlighted the need for robust data systems to monitor and mitigate disruptions across global supply chains.

In conclusion, the panel emphasised that building a resilient supply chain requires collaboration, innovation, and data integration. As companies and governments work together to address infrastructure gaps and streamline logistics, resilience will become a competitive advantage in an increasingly complex global market.

Future mobility trends with Ford, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Keolis, USDOT & North Carolina DoT

Future mobility trends with Ford, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Keolis, USDOT & North Carolina DoT

In a forward-looking keynote session at MOVE America 2024, experts from Ford, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Keolis, the USDOT, and North Carolina’s Department of Transportation gathered to discuss the shifting landscape of mobility. As the industry pivots toward electrification, automation, and sustainability, these key players shared their strategies and perspectives on how the future of transportation will unfold.

Jennifer Brace, Chief Futurist at Ford Motor Company, emphasized the importance of preparing for the future, rather than attempting to predict it. “People need to keep moving, and our job is to make that easier,” she said. While acknowledging the advancements in autonomous vehicles, Ford remains committed to supporting its customers on their journey toward electrification. However, Brace was clear that not everyone is ready for electric vehicles, and there is still work to be done in bridging that gap.

At the USDOT, Chief Financial Officer Victoria Wassmer highlighted the exciting advances in safety technologies. She also pointed out the critical role transportation plays in addressing the climate crisis, particularly advocating for increased investment in rail infrastructure.

Aravind Kailas, Advanced Technology Policy Director at Volvo Group North America, underscored the need for a multi-faceted approach to zero-emissions mobility. While battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are a significant part of the solution, hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines (ICEs) will remain essential for heavy-duty and long-haul applications. He stressed that electrifying smaller vehicles is easier, but for larger ones, the process is more complex, and public-private collaboration will be key. Kailas also noted that one of the biggest obstacles to widespread adoption of electric trucks is the lack of readiness in charging infrastructure.

From a mass transit perspective, Keolis is optimistic about the role public transportation will play in reducing carbon emissions. The company believes that continued investment and innovation in mass transit will be crucial to its success as mobility evolves.

Julie White, Deputy Secretary for Multimodal Transportation at North Carolina DoT, sees intercity rail as the “sweet spot” for the future of mobility. The state is focused on resilience planning and infrastructure development to support electrification efforts.

Philipp Skogstad, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, highlighted the importance of collaboration across sectors to accelerate progress. “How quickly we get there depends on how well we work together and meet customer needs,” he stated.

Looking ahead, predictions for the future of mobility include a variety of zero-emissions solutions, highly automated systems (Volvo), reduced friction in transportation and resilience planning (North Carolina), and giving consumers more options for their transportation needs (Ford). Keolis envisions a future where private car use becomes a choice rather than a necessity for most Americans.

The consensus is clear: the future of mobility requires an all-hands-on-deck approach, from government agencies to private companies. As electrification and automation continue to advance, industry leaders are focused on making transportation safer, more sustainable, and more accessible for all.

Gavin Jackson, CEO of Oxa, pointed out that while last-mile deliveries are challenging, progress is being made in the first and middle miles. He also emphasiaed the responsibility to roll out AV technology that meets society’s needs.

Public skepticism remains a hurdle, particularly around the safety of autonomous trucks. Andreas Reschka, Sr. Director at Pony.ai, and Buttler from Daimler both highlighted the role of pilot trials in building trust and familiarity with AV technology. Brunelle noted that people often resist new technology until it becomes routine, with AVs promising safer, and positively “boring”, journeys.

The panel also touched on cybersecurity concerns. Jackson of Oxa emphasized the need for some independence from connectivity to avoid hacks, while Reschka from Pony.ai pointed out the vast amounts of data AVs collect, potentially increasing vulnerabilities.
