Program causality
Engineering, BOM, supply, and plant data resolved into one causal model — program economics and verified intensity move on the same ledger.

iQuantile Axis for Automotive & Mobility
In an industry where a vehicle program is committed years before the regulation lands, engineering, supply, plant, and aftermarket can no longer live in separate ledgers. Axis resolves the vehicle lifecycle — from program gate to second-life — into one causal model.
For OEMs, EV programs, battery makers, and tier-one suppliers carrying EU Battery Regulation, CSDDD, CSRD, and end-of-life obligations on the same operating ledger as program economics.

The problem
Program economics committed years before the regulation lands.
Engineering owns the bill of materials. Supply owns the tier-N provenance. Plant owns the yield. Aftermarket owns the second-life. None of them own the verified per-vehicle intensity, the verified battery passport, or the verified due-diligence trail that the EU Battery Regulation, CSDDD, and customer procurement desks already require. Lifecycle assessment is a one-off engineering exercise that ages out before SOP.
The OEM that cannot tie a sourcing decision in tier-3 to a battery passport entry on the showroom floor — and to a CSDDD attestation a regulator will accept — will lose the program. Fleet buyers price contracts on per-vehicle attested carbon. Capital prices transition finance on verified supply due-diligence. Recyclers and second-life operators bid on what the ledger can prove, not on what the engineering deck claims.
The solution
Vehicle lifecycle, verified from program to aftermarket.
iQuantile Axis resolves engineering, supply, plant, and aftermarket into one causal model of the vehicle lifecycle. Telos prescribes the sourcing, BOM, and plant move that defends program economics and verified intensity together. Conscience reconciles every unit to the EU Battery Regulation, CSDDD, CSRD, and PCF continuously — the battery passport and the customer disclosure ship from the ledger.
Battery passport
Battery provenance, chemistry, state-of-health, and second-life trajectory reconciled on every unit — the EU passport ships from the ledger.
Tier-N supply provenance
Tier 1-N supplier data reconciled — CSDDD due-diligence, conflict-minerals, and customer procurement queries answered from one ledger.
Plant causality
Yield, energy intensity, water, and quality modeled together — not as parallel KPIs that disagree at month-end.
Aftermarket & end-of-life
Warranty, service, telematics, and end-of-life signals reconciled into the operating ledger — second-life and recycling open on verified condition.
Disclosure-grade outputs
EU Battery Regulation, CSRD, CSDDD, and per-vehicle PCF outputs exported from the same ledger that runs the program — no parallel ESG workstream.
How Telos works in automotive
An example.
A tier-2 cathode supplier flags a chemistry change three months before SOP. Telos correlates it with the program's committed PCF, the open CSDDD due-diligence on the upstream mine, the plant's verified energy intensity on the affected cell line, the warranty signature of the prior chemistry in the field, and the customer-fleet PCF commitment on the launch contract.
The sourcing, BOM, and plant impact is isolated. The substitute is prescribed against verified program economics and verified per-vehicle intensity together. The battery passport draft is updated. The CSDDD evidence is assembled before the regulator asks, and the fleet customer's PCF disclosure is preserved.

The return
What changes for the business.
Program economics defended
Engineering, sourcing, and plant prescribed as one causal system — the program lands with the cost, the carbon, and the passport the regulation will require.
Battery passport on the ledger
EU Battery Regulation evidence assembled continuously — the passport ships from the same ledger that built the cell, not from a binder at SOP.
Fleet & OEM contracts open
Per-vehicle attested carbon and verified due-diligence accepted by fleet buyers and OEM customers on first pass — new programs and corridors open.
Transition finance qualifies
Green supply contracts, sustainability-linked debt, and end-of-life investments price on the live program ledger — not on consultants' year-end estimates.
The path
Every Axis deployment begins with an Assessment.
Before any technology is introduced, our automotive experts assess your operations across engineering, supply, plant, and aftermarket — the blueprint becomes implementation, implementation becomes intelligence, verification, and growth.
01Assessment
Program · Supply · Plant · Aftermarket
Program-by-program diagnostic across BOM, tier-N supply, plant operations, aftermarket, and battery lifecycle — regulatory exposure modeled against program economics.
- Engineering, supply, and plant diagnostic across the active program book
- Battery, PCF, and CSDDD gap analysis modeled against EU Battery Regulation and CSRD timelines
- Cost-of-inaction quantified against program risk, fleet-contract drag, and capital cost
- Per-vehicle intensity, battery passport, and due-diligence indicator set with embedded KPIs
- Regulatory mapping (EU Battery Regulation, CSDDD, OECD, CSRD, ISO 14040, ELV)
- Sequencing tied to program gates, SOP windows, and fleet-customer commitments

03Implementation
Axis · Agents
We stay embedded until the operating ledger produces verified output across program, plant, and aftermarket.
- Axis configured across the program portfolio, ledger live across PLM, supply portals, MES, and telematics
- Function agents deployed across sourcing, BOM, plant, warranty, and end-of-life workflows
- Change management, supplier onboarding, and plant playbook rollout
- Causal modeling across engineering, supply, plant, telematics, and aftermarket signals
- Prescriptive sourcing, BOM, and plant moves tied to verified intensity and program economics
- Continuous learning against the operational ground truth of the program
04Intelligence
Telos · Q-Core
Telos reasons across program economics and verified intensity continuously — prescribing the sourcing move, not describing last quarter's lifecycle estimate.
05Verification
Conscience · Evidence
Every unit reconciled to the EU Battery Regulation, CSDDD, CSRD, and per-vehicle PCF continuously.
- Audit-grade reconciliation against battery, lifecycle, and due-diligence standards
- Multi-framework evidence assembled continuously — not SOP-cycle scrambles
- Unverified provenance or PCF claims blocked at the customer-disclosure gate
- New OEM and fleet programs open on verified per-vehicle intensity and provenance
- Green supply contracts and sustainability-linked debt price on the live program ledger
- Second-life and recycling partnerships supported by verified battery and aftermarket evidence
06Growth
Trust · Capital
Verified lifecycle unlocks new OEM and fleet programs, green supply contracts, and capital underwritten on the live program ledger.
