CHEMNITZ, Germany—Engineers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology here have developed a new way to recycle EV batteries and other car parts..
UUSIKAUPUNKI, Finland—Production of Lightyear’s much anticipated solar-powered EV has started at Valmet Automotive’s state-of-the-art assembly plant here.
Vehicle production plants are undergoing a massive transformation as automakers evolve from internal-combustion engines (ICE) to battery power. While EVs use fewer parts overall, those components tend to be heavier than their ICE equivalents. That demands new ways to deploy robots on assembly lines.
