目前全世界各國的電動車輛產業均處於起步階段,各大車廠投注於電動車領 域的研發也超過數十年,一直難以克服電池與充電關鍵技術的問題,致使電動車 產品的發展一直未被看好。本研究以平台領導策略的理論觀點,選定二個電動車 產業中的成功案例做比較研究,美國特斯拉電動汽車與台灣中華電動機車,這二 家公司都是該產業中的新進入者,他們的成功對全球電動汽車和台灣電動機車產 業發展帶來了一線希望。 特斯拉身為一家矽谷的新創公司,也採用了Google、Facebook 和Apple 公 司的平台概念,透過聚焦核心技術與整合外部資源創造了獨特的商業模式,顛覆 了傳統汽車產業的經營思維。特斯拉在電池關鍵技術上開放技術與同業結盟,更 進一步擴展事業到電能補充領域,並且在產品上做了多項的科技與服務跨界結合, 欲透過網路效應加速電動車的普級。未來有形產品不再是獲利的重點,特斯拉背 後欲打造的平台生態圈才是領導整個電動車產業發展的關鍵。 電動機車是中華汽車公司多角化的方向之一,中華除了在電動機車產品上 的成功外,目前正極積透過異業結盟與合作來打造電動車充電網絡,自加速台 灣電動機車的普級進一步提升中華電動機車的銷售。本文借鑒特斯拉的平台領 導策略,建議中華聚焦關鍵技術,並自結盟轉向打造成功的平台領導策略,使 中華能在電動機車領域上獲取更高的利益與價值。
The electric vehicle industry is still at staring point even though all major companies have been spending decade to research and to develop in this field. The developers still can't overcome the key technical issues of battery and charging system. For this reason, most people believed that there is no opportunities of developing the EV products. This research is dedicated to comparative study of two successful cases in EV industry, based on the view of Gawer and Cusumano’s Platform Leadership theory in 2002. One of the case is Tesla Motors in the United States, another is China Motor in Taiwan. The two companies are both new entrants, their success have brought a ray of hope in EV industry. Tesla is a Silicon Valley tech startup company of auto giants. It uses the same business model like Google, Facebook and Apple and subverts the traditional auto industry. Tesla reveals its battery system technology to alliance with competitors and extended the business territory to energy charging field. Tesla is keeping integrated a number of technologies on its products in order to create network effect and increase the electric vehicles pervasive. The tangible product is no longer profitable in the future, Tesla’s new ecosystem is the key point of leading the whole EV industry. E-Scooter is a one of the diversification business in China Motor. Now, China Motor is also dedicating to alliance from different business fields to create a platform in order to accelerate the popularity of electric scooters and also boost the sales of its products. This article learned Tesla platform leadership strategy, can be used as reference to suggest China Motor lead to create a successful leadership platform strategy, so China Motor can achieve higher benefits and values from EV business.
