Granular emissions data at the individual vehicle option level replaced broad base-model estimates

Concurrent planning allowed real-time scenario evaluation of volume and mix against regulatory caps

Visibility extended across 13 brands and 28 European countries for aggregate CO2 reporting

Proactive adjustment of model availability reduced risk of multimillion-euro annual penalties

Planning shifted from reactive penalty avoidance to proactive regulatory compliance
