Idea Description:

Updates:
Met with ICE leadership on 9/25/2024
They take over the PHEV
They left T96/E99/E88_90_9x with NA/TCS
&nbsp;
ICE Transition Strategy
&nbsp;
Priorities Supported: 
ICE Transition, TCS Ramp Down
How this strategy inline with GM/Business Unit goals:
Outsourcing Engine and Transmission work to take on SDV
Objective:
Successfully transition all engine and transmission-related projects to Dumarey, TCS, and KPIT teams, ensuring no accountability remains with the NA team, while preparing for future PHEV-related work and addressing resource needs for critical projects.

&nbsp;
Outcome:
By mid-2026, all ICE-related projects, including T96, E99, and E88, will be fully transitioned to Dumarey and KPIT, with the NA team relieved of engine and transmission project accountability. Dumarey will manage PHEV-related work with minimal oversight, while KPIT, with additional support, will manage critical and complex engine-related builds effectively.
