Essential weekly analysis of developments shaping the future of automotive manufacturing and materials
The latest edition of the Automotive Manufacturing Intelligence Brief examines how European incumbents are filling surplus capacity with Chinese partners they can control, pushing rivals such as BYD into greenfield plants that add capacity to an already oversupplied continent. Older sites judged too dated, apparently including Volkswagen’s four unresolved plants, risk staying idle.
Elsewhere, Hyundai Motor Group commits US$15.5bn to India through 2032 with a 90% local content target, Nissan turns its Zhengzhou joint venture into an export base with the Frontier Pro, and Mind Robotics hires Doug Field to scale its factory robots.
