Published purpose

A major challenge faced by automotive manufacturers in the highly evolving Electric Vehicle market, is the construction, selling/financing and the life management of high capacity and efficiency battery packs & Trays. The battery pack is by far the most critical component of any EV; any other EV component being much lighter, simpler and cheaper than its internal combustion match. As a result, with the elimination of EV Government incentives, the OEMs want to fully outsource them to Tier-Ones, leaving the OEM the task to quickly adapt to the market needs and changes. So a new type of ultra-flexible Assembly Shop is now required to face this Obsolescence Challenge, involving high AGV density in a "Dark shop".
