Episode #33: Driving Opportunities | Mitigating Risk in the Automotive Supply Chain

The world’s focus on the EV revolution has new automotive plants and gigafactories popping up across North America and beyond. This opens up new opportunities in various sectors including construction and the automotive supply chain. There are always risks with new opportunities and in this TradeSecurely podcast we will dig into the role trade credit insurance can play to protect service providers and suppliers on the road to an energy transition. Mike Brownhill, the Commercial Account Director – Advanced Manufacturing, at EDC walks us through the various trade credit insurance opportunities (TCI) in the lifecycle of a new automotive plant: its construction, initial CAPEX requirements/getting it operational, sourcing of vehicle specific tooling, procurement of components for assembly of vehicles, through to after-market parts.
