Electricians will hurt aftermarket, according to PSA conglomerate
Car manufacturers invest millions in the development of new vehicles, which they then recover as they market them over their average lifetime of 8 years. But not only do sales recharge the brands portfolio, as they also make a lot of capital from overhaul and maintenance. And this is where the “problem” will lie in the case of electric cars, as they are much less demanding with regard to routine workshop visits.
Helen Lees, head of the PSA Group's electric vehicles and connected services, said, 'What is expected is that' trams will reduce the profits of manufacturers in the aftermarket. ' They are simpler to maintain, have fewer wear parts and thus require less workshop service. All this cuts a slice of brand turnover via the aftermarket.
Specifically referring to the new Peugeot 208 and its battery-related relative, the e-208, Lees said that electric models reduce maintenance costs by only 1/3 compared to similar vehicles with combustion engines. In fact, there are no oil changes, or their filters, spark plugs, air filters, and everything else that requires us to visit the workshop regularly.
This cut in the invoicing of manufacturers' official workshops will also be felt, albeit in the longer term, by the multibrand workshops that abound. When the number of electric vehicles in circulation is significant, they too will suffer the least demand for services. It is precisely to address this break in aftermarket sales that all brands are developing systems and solutions to sell to their customers, ideally over-the-air.
