Industry, mobility & logistics

Automotive & mobility. The car is chosen online and bought in the showroom.

The brand has to hold across both.

Vehicle makers, EV and charging companies, dealer groups and mobility services, where buyers research for weeks, configure online and finish at a dealership. We build the brands, configurators and connected-car experiences that keep one story from the first video to the first service — with safety, emission and price claims that hold.

What is shifting

The buyer configures online, and checks every claim.

Prices, safety ratings and range claims are compared on a phone before anyone visits a showroom. Each shift names what it demands, with a fact you can check.

“Green” became a claim that has to be proved.
  1. Buyers configure, compare and price cars online before they visit.

    It demandsConfigurators and price pages that show the on-road total, not only the showroom price.

    SignalThe CCPA’s 2023 dark-patterns guidelines name drip pricing — revealing charges late in the purchase — as an unfair trade practice.

  2. Safety ratings became a selling point.

    It demandsSafety communication that cites tested results, not adjectives.

    SignalBharat NCAP, India’s crash-test programme, has rated cars since 1 October 2023 on adult and child occupant protection.

  3. Electric vehicles turned “green” into a regulated claim.

    It demandsRange, charging and emission claims that are specific and substantiated.

    SignalThe CCPA’s greenwashing guidelines of 15 October 2024 require environmental claims to be specific and backed by evidence.

  4. Cars became connected software products.

    It demandsApps, over-the-air updates and vehicle data customers can trust.

    SignalUN Regulation No. 155 requires a certified cyber-security management system for new vehicles sold in the EU and other markets that apply it.

The rulebook

Safe, green and on-road: every word has a test behind it.

The advertising codes, the dark-pattern and greenwashing guidelines, the crash-test programme, lending, data and vehicle cyber-security rules, read for a typical programme. Your homologation and legal teams keep sign-off.

Advertising & claims

Shapes most of the work

  1. Advertising Standards Council of India

    ASCI guidelines for automotive advertising

    No depiction of traffic violations or reckless speed; stunts carry a readable cautionary message; safe practices such as seat belts and helmets are encouraged.

    We designLaunch films and dealer creative are checked against the guideline at storyboard stage.

    ASCI · Guidelines for Advertising of Automotive Vehicles Official text: ASCI guidelines for automotive advertising

  2. Central Consumer Protection Authority

    CCPA greenwashing guidelines, 2024

    Environmental claims must be specific and substantiated by certification or reliable scientific evidence; generic terms such as green or eco-friendly need adequate evidence.

    We designRange and emission claims name the test cycle and conditions they were measured under.

    CCPA · Guidelines for Prevention and Regulation of Greenwashing or Misleading Environmental Claims, 15 October 2024 Official text: CCPA greenwashing guidelines, 2024

  3. Central Consumer Protection Authority

    CCPA dark-patterns guidelines, 2023

    Drip pricing, false urgency and basket sneaking are among the thirteen practices named as unfair.

    We designConfigurators show the on-road total, and online bookings never add accessories or cover unasked.

Sector regulator

Often shapes the work

  1. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways

    Bharat NCAP · AIS-197

    A voluntary crash-test rating of one to five stars for adult occupant protection, child occupant protection and safety assist, in force since 1 October 2023.

    We designSafety pages cite the tested rating, the variant tested and the date.

    Bharat New Car Assessment Programme · AIS-197 (launched 22 August 2023)

Payments

Often shapes the work

  1. Reserve Bank of India

    RBI Digital Lending Directions

    Vehicle loans offered online show the lender’s Key Fact Statement with the all-in APR before the borrower commits, with a cooling-off period.

    We designFinance steps in the configurator show the lender’s KFS, never a teaser rate alone.

    RBI · Digital Lending Directions, 8 May 2025 Official text: RBI Digital Lending Directions

Personal data

Shapes most of the work

  1. Ministry of Electronics and IT

    DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025

    Consent for each purpose — leads, test drives, connected-vehicle data — with withdrawal as easy as consent.

    We designOwner apps ask for vehicle-data consent per purpose and show what is shared with dealers.

Security & incidents

Shapes most of the work

  1. UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations

    UN Regulations No. 155 and 156

    A certified cyber-security management system and a software-update management system for new vehicles sold in the EU and other markets that apply the regulations.

    We designConnected services and update notices are designed with the manufacturer’s security and update processes.

Accessibility

Sometimes shapes the work

  1. W3C

    WCAG 2.2 AA

    Configurators, booking forms and owner apps usable with a keyboard, a screen reader and zoom.

    We designConfigurators are built from accessible controls, with every option readable as text.

Challenges

Your customers’ problems, and your own.

What we hear in almost every automotive & mobility brief — on the customer’s side of the screen, and on yours.

Your customers

  1. The real on-road price

    Registration, insurance and accessories visible before the showroom.

  2. Charging and range certainty

    Where to charge, how long it takes and what it costs.

  3. Service without the wait

    Bookings, updates and pickup handled from the app.

What we build

One story from launch film to forecourt and service bay.

Brand and product experience lead an automotive programme; content systems keep hundreds of dealers on message. Every line links to the capability that does the work.

Work and insights

The work, anonymised until clients approve.

Projects in this industry are published once a client approves the write-up. Until then, here is what we have written on the rules that apply.

A typical programme · composite

A vehicle maker gave its dealer network one configurator and one price-display standard, so the on-road total a buyer sees online is the total they are quoted in the showroom.

Anonymised and illustrative: the shape a programme takes, never a named client.

Questions

What marketing, digital and dealer-network leads ask us first.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

Q.01Do you work with dealers as well as manufacturers?

Yes: dealer groups and the networks manufacturers run. The best results come when both use one system for content, leads and prices.

Q.02Can you help with EV range and charging claims?

We design each claim with its evidence — the test cycle and conditions — so it is specific, as the CCPA’s greenwashing guidelines require. Your homologation team confirms the figures.

Q.03Do you build connected-car apps?

We design and build owner apps and the services behind them, with security, consent and update communication designed in.

Q.04How do you show the on-road price?

From one price source that includes registration, insurance and mandatory charges, so the online total matches the showroom quote.
