Nuro to Build its First US Manufacturing and Testing Facilities
LAS VEGAS—Electric-autonomous-vehicle manufacturer Nuro is investing $40 million in an end-of-line manufacturing facility and a closed-course test track to commercialize and scale production of its third-generation vehicle, the R2.
“This is a significant moment for Nuro," says Jiajun Zhu, Nuro co-founder and CEO. "Building on our tremendous momentum—including strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Domino’s, Kroger, and FedEx and operations in three states—we are now able to invest in the infrastructure to build tens of thousands of robots. “We greatly appreciate the state’s leadership in working with us to finalize this partnership. The decision to place these facilities in Southern Nevada was an easy one.”
