Uniti partners with Siemens to support fully automated car manufacturing

Swedish EV start-up partners with engineering giant to support automated manufacturing

Uniti announces a new partnership with Siemens Nordics, with the aim to manufacture its EVs in a fully automated facility in Sweden.

The company states: "The "˜industry 4.0' factory will be one of the first of its kind in the world, focusing on sustainable manufacture of composite materials and automated vehicle assembly. With this approach, we found a way to greatly simplify the manufacturing process and exponentially reduce the carbon footprint for Uniti's production, whilst shortening time to market and decreasing capital outlay."

Our partnership with Siemens here in the Nordics is based on Siemens' PLM software suite that enables the entire production process to be planned in a virtual setting before implementation in the physical world. "The whole process is so perfected that the first vehicle produced on the physical production line can be sold directly to the customer with no test vehicles needed", explained Mats Friberg, the CEO of Siemens PLM Software.

"The partnership with Siemens is essential to our long-term plans as we now have the opportunity to not only develop a sustainable car, but also manufacture it in a sustainable way at a large scale, faster and with a significantly lower initial capital demand", says Lewis Horne, CEO of Uniti, "Our fully-automated production line can basically have the lights turned off for 22 hours a day."

The facility is anticipated to be capable of producing up to 50,000 units per year within its first year of production.

Secure Your Hydrogen Supply

A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.

Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.

Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
