Back in the USA Returning to Detroit for the first time in over 10 years the AMS Automotive Evolution North America event delivered expert panels and a fully engaged audience who combined to share their valuable insights and experience, through panel discussions, Q&A and networking. Here are some of the highlights from the sessions. Nick Holt
Electrification and digitalisation go hand in hand at Ford and VW As the automotive industry electrifies, manufacturing is changing dramatically and OEMs are using big data to keep pace with that change. Increasingly moving into the world of tech, old quality control processes may no longer suffice since a lot of EV components cannot be reworked like traditional equivalents. Manufacturing has to be ultra-precise like never before. Illya Verpraet
VW and Ford invest in flexible production for an uncertain future The speed of change in the technology of cars, electrification and the introduction of advanced software is requiring new manufacturing equipment and is making expensive old machines redundant, but exactly where the industry is going next is hard to predict. More flexible manufacturing is the answer for Ford and VW. Illya Verpraet
