Production System with Respect for Variable Quantities for an Economical Electric Vehicle Production

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Future Trends in Production Engineering

Abstract

The increasing amount of traffic in modern mega cities as well as the scarcity of oil makes the mobility of the future a social core problem. The awareness of emissions and environmental friendliness attract major interest in electric mobility. Electric vehicles are in direct competition to conventional powered cars, but high prices lead to a very reserve acceptance and market diffusion. Companies need to build up competencies to develop and produce electric vehicles which are attractive for customers; potentials lie in a complete purpose-oriented redesign according to the specification of electric mobility. An integrated product and process development helps to tap the full potential in terms of cost and value-oriented production. New production processes bundled in a production system need to be identified to reduce production cost, enabling e-mobility to compete with conventional powered cars.
