The technology, created by Arculus, which is headed by a former Porsche engineer, allows for flexibility and social-distancing
Munich — A German startup run by a former Porsche engineer has received backing for his planned makeover of the assembly-line approach to carmaking introduced by Henry Ford a century ago.
“Now that we have this funding, it’s going to be about broadening the customer base,” said Fabian Rusitschka, who has set up shop in Ingolstadt, close to BMW. “You can’t move the workplaces apart from each other, you can barely create any distance,” Rusitschka said. The move to electric vehicles could also be a boost. With the technology still evolving, carmakers will want to keep their options open. That doesn’t suit the traditional carmaking set-up.
