What the data says
- Our forecast for the next 12 months (4,580 pc) is +10.3 % above what we called off in the last 12 months (4,154)
fc:350020@2026-09. More volume is worth something to the supplier: our agent cites this as its volume argument. - Qualified second source: Konvertek Antriebselektronik GmbH (quota 0 %). A real alternative if its price is right.
- Latest RFQ
rfq:6000000203(2026-08-21, Second-source benchmark): Konvertek Antriebselektronik GmbH quoted €466.99quote:7200003, +13.1 % against today's €412.74: the alternative is dearer, so it gives us no leverage on price. - P03: the coverage trap. Covering less than 4,580 pc a year for 2 years costs up to €401,499 more than buying at today's price (3,664 a year for 12 months); full coverage (4,580 for 24 months) avoids it. A lower price only wins if it saves more than that.

Coverage
The brief's formula: years = min(contract months ÷ 12, horizon); covered = min(volume, need) × years; uncovered = need × horizon − covered, bought at fallback × (1 + risk).
Need 4,580 pc a year over 2 years = 9,160. Whatever the deal does not cover is bought later at the fallback price €441.63 + 10 % risk = €485.79 (today: €412.74). Each cell: units left uncovered, and what they cost on top of buying them at today's price.
