Keyloop has launched a new global automotive tech podcast to help anyone working in the automotive industry keep abreast of the new technologies shaping the sector and better understand how the latest innovations can be used to their advantage.
Hosted by Jacqui Barker, Keyloop’s Global OEM Strategy Director, Drivetime will feature a special guest on each episode to help provide clarity on how technology can be applied to industry challenges, discuss marketplace trends and address how listeners can feel more confident when it comes to digital transformation.
There are more than 50 million job roles across the automotive industry worldwide, according to The International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA). However, training is often focused on new employees, and critical technologies that underpin and connect data and systems are not always given priority. The Drivetime podcast – covering everything from fuel to finance, AI to aftersales and e-commerce to EVs – will be relevant for staff at all levels in modern auto retail businesses, with topics tackled in an informative, accessible and jargon-free way.
Available to stream on all major platforms (including Apple, Spotify and Acast), and with a new episode each month, the podcast will welcome a diverse range of guests. The launch episode kicks off with Keyloop’s Chief Executive Officer Tom Kilroy and Chief Revenue Officer Harvey discussing the challenges of connecting a global ecosystem, and how to ensure technology providers support a ‘cost-out and efficiency-in’ methodology, working cohesively to extract the most from it. In subsequent episodes, RightCharge CEO Charlie Cook explores how the industry can stay ahead of EV adoption and charging, Google’s Automotive Specialist Mohammed Lone shares the latest insight from Google, and Sophus 3 Managing Director Scott Gairns discusses how AI is transforming the car buying journey.
Barker said: “Technology can help the industry overcome its biggest challenges with a better understanding of how to deploy the right technology at the right time. The purpose of Drivetime is simple – to demystify the latest innovations and help businesses use them to unleash their full potential.
“We’ll be taking learnings from all sectors, combining our knowledge to drive change and bring in the best minds in tech and innovation to break it down and make it easily digestible for our
listeners.”
