As we hire engineers, it gives us room to have top-notch facilities for them to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, the company ramped up production by more than 600 per cent and continues to increase production as its orders increase. The company also recently doubled its workforce and expects to double it again this year.<\/p>\n<p>As a part of the expansion, Lightning eMotors is adding technology and automation at the location that includes CNC laser cutting and powder-coating equipment. \u201cThese additions to our in-house production capabilities allow us to produce all of our own framework inhouse, better enabling us to control quality, accelerate development and production, and reduce costs,\u201d Lehmeier said. \u201cCombined, the expansion and new equipment ensures that we\u2019re ready for continually increasing demand and the growth of the business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lightning eMotors will indeed have to expand at a rapid pace to keep up with demand. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2021\/01\/09\/lightning-emotors-receives-ev-order-for-45-million-from-abc\/\">Just last week<\/a> Lightning announced an order from ABC Companies for a total value of $45 million. This will buy 200 additional electric vehicles for the company fleet, including everything from Class 3 Transit passenger wagons to motorcoaches with fully electric powertrain systems.<\/p>\n<h3>Update 26 February 2022:<\/h3>\n<p>Lightning eMotors has completed the expansion of its manufacturing campus in Loveland, Colorado by 102,000 square feet to a total of over 226,000 square feet. Lightning eMotors\u2019 retooled and expanded manufacturing operations will increase the production capacity up to 1,500 complete electric vehicles and powertrain systems annually by the end of 2022. This means the company is on track with its previously announced plan to produce up to 20,000 vehicles and powertrain systems by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning eMotors\u2019 CEO Tim Reeser says: &#8220;This expansion at our headquarters here in Loveland not only helps us increase our production capacity \u2013 but the additional tooling and automation enables our technicians to do their jobs more safely, more efficiently, and with a focus on quality and consistency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the company, the plant expansion includes the addition of collaborative robots (Cobots) that are to assist technicians with fabrication and welding processes. The plant will also use projected augmented reality (AR) software which the company says will transform the manual assembly and manufacturing processes. With this technology, the projected AR platform projects virtual step-by-step work instructions projected onto employee\u2019s work surfaces. Lightning eMotors says that this technology and information will improve both quality and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning is also renovating an additional 3,700 square feet on the campus to become Lightning\u2019s new vehicle research and development annexe and battery testing centre. This will include a commercial vehicle rated dynamometer and advanced battery testing equipment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lightningemotors.com\/lightning-emotors-adds-production-capacity-space-to-meet-growing-demand-from-fleets-for-electric-vehicles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lightningemotors.com<\/a>,<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
