Fuel for Thought: Rare earth elements: Auto industry looks beyond China
In this podcast episode, experts from S&P Global Mobility delve into the critical role of rare earth elements (REEs) in the automotive industry—particularly in the production of electric vehicle components like traction motors.
China currently dominates both the production and processing of these essential materials. The discussion examines how China’s control over the rare earth supply chain is shaping global industries, the geopolitical implications, and how other nations are responding in an effort to diversify their REE sources.
Our experts also explore the rise of emerging technologies, including Europe's shift toward magnet-free motor designs, and consider what the future may hold for REE dependency in the evolving automotive landscape.
