    Autonomous Vehicle
    Industry: Autonomous Vehicle

    Client A (Under NDA) - Facing uncharted territory in UK autonomous vehicle regulations, a leading Chinese manufacturer engaged CSCS in 2024 for comprehensive market entry analysis. Our five-month intensive study delivered a 70-page regulatory blueprint covering policy frameworks, testing certification requirements, approved operational zones, and competitor positioning. Beyond documentation, we mapped testing facilities across three UK regions and initiated introductions to potential launch partners. This foundational work created a strategic roadmap enabling informed investment decisions for their UK expansion initiative.

CSCS cut through the complexity with a rock-solid market entry report - from decoding policies and road testing protocols to sizing up opportunities and connecting us with potential partners.

Crucially, we integrated specialised legal and accounting partners aligned with their corporate structure, enabling full operational readiness within 11 weeks - 30% faster than industry benchmarks for comparable market entries.

The conclusive recommendation to maintain software focus - supported by ROI projections - prevented an estimated £7.2M capital exposure while strengthening their core platform development roadmap.
