Don’t forget to tune into the tomorrow’s Steel Market Update Community Chat webinar with Bernard Swiecki of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR). The webinar starts Wednesday, July 28, at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. CT).
Swiecki serves as director of research at CAR as well as director of the Automotive Communities Partnership (ACP). He will speak about the electrification of the automotive industry, which is proceeding faster than predicted – and with no signs of slowing down. This rapid transformation will bring major disruption not only to automakers but also to suppliers of materials such as steel. Swiecki’s presentation will address the speed and impacts of this transformation.
Swiecki is an expert on the subject, managing research projects on technology and on the structure of the automotive industry. He also handles CAR’s analysis of vehicle markets and production data. Swiecki has in addition led trade missions to China, Italy, India and Russia.
The 45-minute webinar will be free and open to all who register, which you can do by clicking here.
