Automotive companies are using IoT technologies to improve the efficiency of the automotive value chain. IoT is being used at all stages of the value chain, from supplier network to sales and post-sale activity. Tier 1 and 0.5 suppliers are driving the development of connected car technologies, while auto manufacturers are using the Industrial Internet to streamline production processes and increase efficiency. IoT is also being used in the post-sale layer of the value chain through telematics-based insurance and predictive vehicle maintenance.
