Show notes

Recorded live at MOVE 26, this bonus episode of Drivetime features Christiane Soppa, Head of Sales for Mobility and Logistics at Bosch, in conversation with Jacqui about the

shift towards software-defined vehicles, software-defined fleets and a more connected mobility ecosystem. Christiane Soppa explains how Bosch brings together OEM, aftermarket and fleet expertise to turn vehicle data into useful insights — from EV battery health and predictive maintenance to vehicle health certificates and damage transparency.


The conversation also explores why software-defined mobility is more than a technology shift. As vehicles become platforms that can be personalised, updated and improved over time, Christiane Soppa shares why collaboration across OEMs, fleets, suppliers and service networks will be essential to creating new value for operators and

customers alike.
