Weekly News

Tuesday July 11th, 2023



From the Editor

Some big commitments in this week’s news, starting with Stellantis upping the
ante signing an agreement with the Italian government that will see it
increasing its production in the country, rise to 1m vehicles.

 

Also making a big commitment are Renault and Geely who have formally signed a
joint venture agreement to establish a new powertrain technology company that
will focus on developing and producing next generation hybrid and ICE
powertrains.

 

It’s interesting for a few reasons, not the least of which is that the business
model is to provide end-to-end powertrain solutions to the global market, not
just the partner’s own brands. It also offers a solution as to what to do with
your existing ICE production operations. In addition, the two OEMs are
interested in attracting other OEM partners to join the venture.

 

It will be interesting to see if this becomes a template for further merging of
development and production assets within other parts of the automotive sector,
as companies look to reduce costs and optimise manufacturing.

 

The weekly news wouldn’t be complete without some mention of AI. In this case
it’s Mercedes-Benz taking another step in the digitalisation of its production
operations by integrating ChatGPT into its MO360 production system. The aim is
to increase the accessibility of the digital production systems, allowing the
operators to improve the efficiency of operations and reduce downtime far more
effectively. Very interesting stuff and one to follow.
