SEASON 2 | EPISODE 3

It’s time to reflect on the year gone by and take a look at the year to come.

On today’s DNT Podcast, Derek D is joined by two guests: Dave Cantin, CEO of Dave Cantin Group (and DNT’s original host), along with Charlie Chesbrough, Senior Economist at Cox Automotive.

“It’s incredible to see where the technology is today, and I’m excited to see where it will be in 5 years.”

Derek, Dave, and Charlie take a look at the most important developments of 2020 and give some interesting takes on what we can expect in 2021, in regards to stimulus and the economy, as well as emerging technologies.


Episode Highlights:

  • Which two major factors boosted automotive demand in Q3-4 2020? Will they continue in 2021?
  • Will 2021 be the breakout year for electric vehicles? If so, what will it take for a manufacturer to win the tech race and dominate the market?
  • What other tech might move so quickly that retained value on 2021 vehicles will suffer after 3-4 years?
