Emerging Technologies Driving Sustainability in Automotive Supply Networks and Smart Mobility

With environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards at the center of the international business strategies, there is an ever-growing pressure on the automotive industry to be able to guarantee ethical procurement sound carbon footprints and supply chain transparency. This paper examines the lucrative way in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain are soon to transform the sphere of ESG compliance and become the source of end-to-end supply chain visibility. It explores existing issues, namely, fragmentation of data, the lack of its traceability, and the inappropriateness of regulations. The study states the importance of AI to forecast sustainability threats, and the ability of the Blockchain to deliver immutable records of sourcing, logistics, and emissions. It also assesses regulatory bodies, the scale-related problems, and proposes a road map towards incorporation of such technologies, and finally, gives a model of how digital change can be implemented in the creation of responsible, sustainable, and smart networks of automobiles.
