As automotive manufacturing becomes increasingly complex, primarily driven by rising demand for more sustainable production processes as well as zero-carbon vehicles, the question of flexibility is becoming more central to both producers and customers.
In an exclusive livestream and interview hosted by ABB, industry insiders outlined how new manufacturing methods and technologies are increasing production flexibility for OEMs and suppliers, ranging from startups to legacy companies.
Significant growth in powertrain variety is leading to manufacturing transformation, with a particular push for further flexibility, according to Joerg Reger, managing director of ABB’s Auto OEM business line.
