We realize vehicle programs – from the signing of the contract to the start of production – in the shortest of time. Our tried-and-tested people–robot collaboration and the compact factory layout are also key to faster and more efficient manufacturing.
COMPLETE VEHICLES, CAR BODY SHELLS, PROTOTYPES
Vehicle construction is actually vehicle engineering. Whether we are producing your car body in white, the complete vehicle in large- or small-scale series, or exclusive prototypes – we have everything needed for just the right processes. We master the interplay between all factors of production, just as much as we do the interaction with your engineers. We act with a view towards the future, on a level playing field with you, and with our sights on your goals.
ELECTRIFYING SINCE 2009
Over a decade ago, we were one of the first companies to take up series production of electric cars and manufacture battery-powered electric vehicles. Backed by this status as a pioneer, we have since then continuously expanded our EV competence. Today, this early won advantage benefits us and, ultimately, you. We build plug-in hybrid models for Mercedes-Benz and are well prepared for the production of battery-powered electric vehicles.
