- Use launch sequencing to establish volume in high-demand compact SUV and mass-market segments before pushing higher-cost EV variants.
- Create finance, exchange and maintenance bundles to lower monthly ownership costs and support residual values for newly launched models.
- Strengthen supplier commitments for CNG systems, hybrid components, software/electronic architecture and charging partnerships.
