Off-Highway Research & Roland Berger Global Supply Chain Challenges Survey

The global environment is characterized by unprecedented volatility due to wars, pandemics, structural supply chain challenges, inflation, and other disruptions. This joint survey by Off-Highway Research and Roland Berger aims to quantify the current supply chain challenges facing the global off-highway industry.

Your responses will be used to help shape our white paper on the topic, slated for publication this September. All survey answers will be kept in the strictest confidence.

Survey respondents who provide their contact details (at the end of the survey) will receive a detailed summary of the survey results as well as a copy of the white paper free of charge as soon as the study results are published.
