In this latest AMS digital edition we have features on BMW’s San Luis Potosi facility in Mexico, Ford’s planned European Electrification Centre at Cologne, CATL’s battery cell production operations in Europe, ZF’s upgrading of its plants for EVs and electronics, and more.

Our Winter digital edition features insights from Harald Gottsche, plant director and CEO of the BMW’s San Luis Potosi facility in Mexico who discusses M-Series production and how the factory’s model portfolio looks set to grow. We also speak with Rene Wolf, Director of Manufacturing Vehicle Operations at Ford Europe about how the Cologne plant will be upgraded to become the first Ford Electrification Centre in Europe. Tier suppliers also feature with ZF’s Arno Güllering, senior vice-president of operations for the company’s electrified powertrain division, discussing how ZF is upgrading plants and skills for growth in EVs and electronics. While Matthias Zentgraf, president of Europe for China’s CATL, shares some insights on the hot topic of localising battery cell production in Europe.

The technology focus looks at the development of autonomous mobile robots and how these versatile units will support flexible production, and an in-depth feature on the R&D going into creating a sustainable supply of key battery cell materials.

We also have a report from our Automotive Evolution Europe summit, with insights from industry experts and senior OEM and Tier supplier executives.
