Dürr Builds Scalable Paint Shop for E-Car Manufacturer in China
SOUTHFIELD, MI – Enovate is a high-end travel technology enterprise integrating R&D, production, and the sales and service of electric vehicles. The new e-car factory, currently under construction by the Chinese manufacturer, is scheduled to start production this year. It includes a scalable paint shop built by Dürr, which can grow flexibly to meet demand. An important building block for the plant is the EcoProFleet of automated guided vehicles (AGV).
Enovate's brand concept focuses on design, quality and intelligent connectivity. The company aims to rethink smart design and green mobility and implement its ideas with innovative technology. The first ME7 model has been officially available since last fall. The new plant in Changsha, one of China's major cities, is designed for an initial annual capacity of 60,000 units. To enable Enovate to expand its production in response to rising demand, Enovate opted to use AGVs around its manual workstations. The AGVs are a flexible conveyor technology that is not restrained by cycle times and can be easily extended as production figures grow.
