When it comes to automotive assembly, sometimes a one-solution-fits-all approach is the best one. Just ask the designers and assemblers at Local Motors, an American motor vehicle company located in Phoenix.
Since its founding in 2007 by John B. Rogers Jr., the company has focused on low-volume manufacturing of vehicles using co-creation (publicly shared design information) and multiple microfactories (small regional shops set up for flexible, small-batch production). Its current product lineup includes the Rally Fighter, Strati, Swim and Olli, an autonomous electric-powered shuttle bus.
