#Microfactories #EV #ArrivalVan
Top marks for pronouncing Bicester correctly!
Had a little help from Google 😉
This is an excellent idea. The other thing it creates is job opportunities over a larger area of a given country. And for smaller cities, not just one big plant in one city. And less delivery costs for the manufacture.
Plus, each microfactory might be able to produce spare parts for local repair shops or even serve as their own regional service center! Could be amazing :)
a small number of jobs though as most work is automated.
@@bluesky5900 those automations also create additional jobs, in another aspect of employment, not just in a new manufacturing plant.
@@garrygballard8914 they do create jobs but less jobs per capita. There is no stopping this trend though but just saying.
@@bluesky5900 true, this is what efficiency is all about. It’s the world transforming to new and better things, people must learn and move along with it.
I look forward to seeing where Arrival goes in the years ahead with an eye towards possible future investment. I want to see their trucks on the road first!
The future looks more exciting each year. There's never been a time like this when technology is advancing at such a rate. Feeling very fortunate to be alive to witness everything in real-time. How do you feel about the future? Are you excited yet?
Is the Capex competitive with those large scale consumer factories? Very smart eliminating the paint shop as that can exceed 1/3 of the Capex of a vehicle manufacturing facility. I can definitely see this disruption in comercial products.
Roanoke,VA was once a rail car production and maintenance city. Arrival would be a perfect opportunity to use the skills, infrastructure and “open-arm” policy of Roanoke’s local government and residents.
No Harry, the phrase that ticked me off was: "Microfactories could be the next disturbing force in the transition to electric vehicle" . My point was: this is not only about technology. Arrival has obviously an interesting take on things, and that`s great for alternative energy in transport and reduction of green gas emission. What I meant was, for example, Musk decided to get into the car industry to find meaning in his life, to try to make a difference in the world. He is using technology as a mean to an end. It`s usually the other way around. It is used to produce more stuff, make more money and the hell with consequences.
There aren't many people like Musk, and history would show this has always been the case in the world. At any given time, there are many great minds living amongst us, and sometimes only a handful of them get recognized on the world stage. I believe what Musk has done with Tesla is a huge disruptive force on the automotive and energy industry. Many others are tapping into the disruption for new business opportunities, but not all will succeed. While Arrival is still fairly new to the industry, it could prove to be a working concept that could one day start boosting the disruption that Tesla started. If all goes well for Arrival (and I do wish them all the best on their journey), there are big opportunities that I see lying ahead.
In the end, what we are witnessing happening today is just a drop in the ocean of what is really possible in the years ahead. We can only imagine what the world will look like after the disruption starts to fade out and normalize the markets to the new norms in terms of technology, transportation, and energy.
Arrival may show that the Microfactory works and many may use in this industry and others now that it may become a proven concept.
The Product is amazing, but the microfactory is a scam....
They aren't being honest or they are simply naive....
9:00 they try with the phones some years back and they did not come true bc they need to sell more and more so u can buy the new one not to change a part
When will WiTricity go public?
This is fascinating! I would love to see a joint venture with Tesla for an economy car. But that can’t happen without increased battery capacity.
Harry, you do really good stuff, but this video is spectacular. This is such an exciting prospect, yet another thing that I thought would emerge in a more distant future. I consider myself on the more Kurzweil side of tech optimism, but I'm still blown away by how fast all of this is coming. Trying to imagine the world even 5 years from now feels harder and harder.
Keep up the great work, I can really see this channel blowing up
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that. 🙏
@SpikeTFA, I share the same sentiments, the future is unknown but better for it if people come up with novel & workable ideas.
I too want every start-up to succeed, it's better for everyone, more diversity brings broader choices for consumers.
I must say, Harry & his EVSource channel are amazing, but I'd rather they didn't blow up, I'd miss them. 🤣👍
For all our sakes let's hope this concept succeeds. Hyundai don't waste money.
They must produce the bus and van before the end of this year 2022, otherwise it is a suck stock.
Definitely an interesting concept. Problems could arise in different build qualities at different plants. But one big advantage I’m not seeing anyone talk about is customer being familiar with the product. In my area we have a Subaru plant so percentage wise we have a high volume of Subarus. People are familiar with the product and may know or know of someone working there. This would be a huge help to a new company. Just image if the made repair parts on site as well, then mechanics and body repairmen wouldn’t be as dismissive to potential customers because they would be confident enough to say well yeah we can fix that easily and with factory original possibly even next day.
Because right now mechanics won’t recommend if they can’t get parts or have 1st hand knowledge of the product.
So if they pair this with aftermarket compatibility, I bet they could really launch the company.
my goodness but these robot cells work incredibly slowly!
Ability to scale is a key for 100x return. How Arrival will solve this problem?
Arrival can scale much faster than other car manufacturers because they can respond to regional demand quickly. Most car manufacturers take years to build large factories that serve entire continents but Arrival can buy any warehouse and convert it in less than 6 months. If demand for vans skyrockets in an emerging country for example other manufacturers have to ship vehicles in to sell which is costly and the end price is impacted by tariffs whereas Arrival will build a factory quickly in the area, bringing local jobs and the ability to customize for that market. It makes them perfect for government contracts because politicians love companies that create local jobs.
Brilliant! We need more outside-the-box thinking in manufacturing. I love the concept of renewing a vehicle's body rather than buying all new. It's the right thing to do.
They are basically the Vietcong of car makers
EXCELLENT Information. Keep it up dear.
Thank you!
this can be apply to all the products

Inductive ev charging stations would be a perfect fit for this
I agree. It's likely that inductive charging will takeoff from the commercial side before making its way to the consumers.
I think Micro Factorys would be best served if they are robotic only, more factory's with more human builders would mean variation in quality,
What makes this vehicle/factory any more "sustainable" than other EVs/factories? Or are you just reading a press reliease?
It is really amazing think about it. In the Tech-Industry you always think smaller is better and more sufficient. But when it comes to future factory i always thought they are gonna be bigger and bigger. If you watch sci-fi movies its often the same, more imposing large scale Factories . Going smaller really might come with a large set of Benefits.
MicroFactories will certainly form a large part of the global production future. The ability to remove the excessive transport costs can only help businesses to remain viable, and less transport of goods to their final destination, can only be a good thing!
Micro assembly units would be more accurate. Parts will need to be produced in actual factories.
EV Source well over a billion dollars.
the first version of the arrival van looks so much better...
I think the first design was made exclusively for the logistics service provider UPS. UPS has already ordered 10,000 vans with this exclusive design and is a shareholder in Arrival.
The Future is Bright !
