Abstract
This chapter begins with the evolution of marketing and engineering product lifecycle models with a focus on lifecycle costing and lifecycle assessment in order to discuss the challenges facing such lifecycles in general and for the automotive industry in particular. It then addresses new challenges in the handling of an automotive product lifecycle arising from digital transformation, new product functionality, software-driven innovation, new partnering, and new supply chains. These new challenges arise from the use of emerging technologies regarding digital services, data, information, and knowledge. The overall idea of this chapter is to discuss the evolution from mechatronic products to smart, connected products, and cyber-physical systems acting in a systems of systems environment, where systems engineering is a key approach.
