Stellantis chairman details Jeep and Ram’s investment plans in the U.S. to Trump

DETROIT — Stellantis GM Chairman John Elkann met with President Trump during a daylong trip to Washington, D.C., ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Monday to detail several upcoming U.S. investments by the transatlantic automaker.

The plans, outlined in an internal message to U.S. employees on Wednesday, include creating 1,500 jobs and reopening an Illinois plant in 2027 to build a new midsize pickup truck; building a new version of the Dodge Durango SUV at its Detroit plant (a model originally considered for production in Mexico); and providing more support to plants in Toledo, Ohio, and Kokomo, Indiana.

“John told the president that, building on our proud history in the U.S. for more than 100 years, we plan to continue that legacy, further strengthen our U.S. manufacturing footprint and provide stability for our great American workforce,” Antonio Filosa, head of North American operations at Stellantis, said in the message.

The leaders of Detroit’s “Big Three” automakers have each spoken or met with Trump. They are also among the companies that have each donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

General Motors confirmed Wednesday that CEO Mary Barra also spoke with Trump about the U.S. auto industry and economy before the inauguration. The company called it a great conversation that was “friendly and productive.”

Ford Motor Chairman Bill Ford said earlier this month that he had a long phone conversation with the then-president-elect.

“We had a long conversation,” Ford said at a Detroit Auto Show event on Jan. 9. “He called me out of the blue and we had a really good conversation. He understands our industry and Ford’s importance in it. He wants to help. I think once he gets the workforce together, we might be able to have a deeper conversation.”

Some of Stellantis’ announcements, such as production of a midsize pickup in Illinois, were previously expected under a contract with the UAW. However, those announcements have been questioned over strategic decisions by former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares.

UAW President Sean Fein, who has campaigned for Tavares’ firing, welcomed the plans announced. The union had previously filed grievances and held anti-Stellantis rallies over layoffs and potential changes to the company’s production plans.

“This victory is a testament to the power of workers coming together to hold this multi-billion dollar company accountable. We have shown that we will do everything we can to protect the great union jobs that are the lifeblood of places like Belvidere, Detroit, Kokomo and more,” Fein said in a statement Wednesday.

Elkann, a descendant of Italy’s Agnelli family and founder of Fiat, is running the automaker as it searches for a new CEO following Tavares’ abrupt departure in December amid falling profits, plummeting market share and disagreements with the company’s board.

Stellantis’ plans for a Jeep production site in Ohio include “additional technology and strong product action for the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator” and “more components critical to supporting the facility,” the memo showed.

Stellantis’ investment in Indiana includes production of a new four-cylinder engine, the memo showed.

“Our plans are focused on growing market share and increasing sales, and we need to make billions of dollars of investments in our people, quality products and innovative technologies in the United States,” Filosa said.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that Elkann met with Trump and several senior administration officials ahead of Trump’s inauguration, which he was invited to but did not attend.

Elkann also serves as Ferrari’s chairman. According to Reuters, Ferrari’s new Formula One driver and current driver Martin Luther King flew back to Italy to meet with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton before the inauguration ceremony.

Lucid CEO steps down; EV maker plans to more than double production by 2025

Electric car maker Lucid Group said Tuesday that Chief Executive Officer Peter Rawlinson has resigned as the company expects to more than double vehicle production to 20,000 this year.

Lucid said Chief Operating Officer Marc Winterhoff has taken over as interim CEO. The company said Rawlinson will serve as “strategic technical advisor to the chairman of the board and will no longer serve in his previous position.”

Winterhoff told CNBC on Tuesday that Rawlinson made the decision to resign on Friday, but he declined to provide further details.

Winterhoff, who joined Lucid from Roland Berger in December 2023, said: “After 12 years of day-to-day work and day-to-day activities, Peter has brought the company to where it is today, and now it is time to exit and hand over the baton.”

Rawlinson said in a statement on LinkedIn on Tuesday that he decided the time was “finally right” to step down after the “successful” launch of the company’s second product, a three-row SUV called Gravity. He did not elaborate further on the decision in the lengthy post.

Rawlinson’s departure was unexpected. As one of the company’s largest shareholders, Rawlinson also served as chief technology officer and had often touted his passion for and stake in the automaker. In July 2021, he took Lucid public through a reverse merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).

“My mission and dedication are unwavering. Other than when needed for tax purposes, I have not sold a single share,” Rawlinson said during the company’s third-quarter conference call in November. “As a result, I am committed to continuing to work tirelessly day and night to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Lucid said its board of directors has begun a search for a new CEO.

The announcement of the CEO change and production targets came alongside the automaker’s fourth-quarter financial results. For the year ended Dec. 31, the company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $636.9 million, or 22 cents per share, on revenue of $234.5 million.

Analysts polled by the London Stock Exchange expected a loss of 25 cents per share on revenue of $214 million.

A year earlier, Lucid reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $653.8 million, or 29 cents per share, on revenue of $157.2 million.

The 2025 production target announced Tuesday is a decline from 9,029 vehicles produced and 10,241 delivered in 2024.

Winterhoff said production of the Gravity SUV would gradually increase this year. He declined to speculate on what percentage of the 20,000 production target the vehicle would account for.

Lucid shares rose about 8% during after-hours trading on Tuesday.

As of the close, the company’s shares have fallen about 13% this year amid slower-than-expected adoption of all-electric vehicles and uncertainty over federal support for electric vehicles under the Trump administration. Last year, the company’s shares fell about 28%.

Lucid’s main backer is Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Its first product is the Air sedan, which will begin deliveries in late 2021.

STEP Robotics assists rail transit and provides efficient, intelligent and flexible solutions

The Xining-Chengdu high-speed railway is part of the Lanzhou-Xi’an-Guangzhou corridor of my country’s “eight vertical and eight horizontal” high-speed railway network. It spans the three provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan. 60% of the line is located above 3,000 meters above sea level, which makes construction extremely difficult. In particular, tunnel construction requires long-term exposure to altitude sickness and large temperature differences between day and night, which is a huge challenge for manual operations and transportation.

Based on the advantages of the entire industry chain and rich welding application experience, STEP Robotics provides efficient, intelligent and flexible arch frame production solutions for the construction of the Xicheng high-speed railway tunnel, helping China’s rail transit to develop by leaps and bounds.

Double-machine collaboration, efficient production

Production process

H-shaped steel is automatically transmitted to the arch bending machine through the track for arch bending

After the arch frame is formed, the workpiece size is determined by laser recognition technology and then cut by the robot

The welding robot determines the shape and position of the workpiece through 3D vision, and then transmits it to the handling robot through Ethernet for assembly

After assembly, the welding robot will position the welding workpiece as a whole, and then weld the main position of the workpiece

The master-slave control technology of the Xinshida robot enables the welding robot and the handling robot to cooperate with each other for efficient production; at the same time, the dual robot and dual station design is adopted to double the efficiency; the dual-platform stereotyped template design effectively guarantees the welding accuracy and processing efficiency, and can realize cyclic processing.

Adaptive flexible welding, reliable and consistent quality

The welding workspace is reconstructed through visual sensing, the workpiece position is identified, and the welding robot moves accurately to the initial welding position. The STEP welding robot SA6/1400 perfectly matches the standard arc welding task with its 6kg load and 1400mm working radius. The streamlined design of the robot wrist ensures that the robot has the smallest destructive contour and the highest degree of freedom of movement. Real-time detection and pre-processing during welding, online correction of the robot’s motion trajectory and automatic adjustment of welding process parameters, beats 20% higher than traditional contact positioning and line laser positioning, and can be compatible with workpieces with deviations of more than 100mm, ensuring the consistency and high reliability of weld formation and welding quality.

Solving the labor shortage and achieving the fastest delivery

For the production of tunnel H-shaped steel arch frames, the demand for operating technicians is increasing, and the advantages of STEP’s intelligent welding system over traditional arch frame welding are prominent.

Using robots as carriers, highly flexible intelligent welding that replaces manual labor is realized.

Compared with manual labor, it has higher work efficiency and more reliable welding quality.

All points are generated by vision, and the whole system can be put into operation quickly.

Customer voice

“Because the project is located in a remote area and the environment is harsh, it is difficult to recruit workers. The high-quality products and services of the STEP robot have solved our worries. The high stability of the robot and the 24-hour rapid response service provide us with stable and timely delivery capabilities. This is why we finally chose STEP.” The project leader said.

As a pioneer in the application of robot welding, STEP has taken the lead in many market segments. This time, STEP Robot has greatly expanded the application boundaries of welding robots with the technical advantages of the 3D vision-guided intelligent welding system, meeting the new needs of the rail transit industry for intelligent welding.

In the future, STEP will continue to work with partners in the subdivided industries to break through more welding technical difficulties, incubate more competitive welding solutions, empower partners, and jointly promote the progress and development of domestic robot welding.

CATL, which has invested nearly 60 billion yuan, is about to introduce robots into its super factory under construction in Hungary

In the Deli Industrial Park near Debrecen, the land preparation work for the CATL battery factory is underway.

Last August, CATL announced that it would invest no more than 7.34 billion euros to build a 100GWh overseas battery factory in Debrecen, which will become the largest battery factory in Europe after completion.

According to Fred Zhang, international communications manager of CATL, the battery factory invested by CATL in Debrecen will arrange battery production according to orders from automakers and serve auto factories operating in Europe. “CATL’s factory in Debrecen enables us to meet the challenges of growing demand in the European market, improve our global production network, and help accelerate electric vehicles and Europe’s energy transition.” Fred Zhang said.

In addition, the factory in Debrecen will be fully automated, and most of the work processes will be performed by robots, with humans supervising the operation of the robots.

“Initially, Chinese professional technicians will arrive in Hungary, and Chinese workers will operate robots in the initial stage of factory construction.” Fred Zhang said, “CATL’s factory in Debrecen enables us to meet the challenges brought by the growing demand of the European market, improve our global production network, and help accelerate electric vehicles and Europe’s energy transformation.” According to Fred Zhang, lithium-ion batteries will be produced in Debrecen, especially battery and module production. Facts have also proved that the factory in Debrecen will be fully automated: most of the work processes will be completed by robots, and only personnel are required to supervise the operation of robots.

At present, international mainstream car companies represented by BMW and Mercedes-Benz have built production bases in Hungary, and Chinese car companies such as BYD and NIO have also successively laid out.

Data show that since the second half of 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles in my country have continued to rise. The year-on-year growth rate in 2021 reached 165.1%, and the high growth rate will continue in 2022. According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in 2022 will reach 7.058 million and 6.887 million respectively, up 96.9% and 93.4% year-on-year respectively. Among them, the production and sales of new energy passenger vehicles were 6.716 million and 6.549 million respectively, up 97.77% and 94.26% year-on-year; the production and sales of new energy commercial vehicles were 342,000 and 338,000 respectively, up 81.84% and 78.89% year-on-year.

New energy vehicles have entered a period of rapid growth, with strong market demand, driving the rapid growth of the power lithium battery industry.

According to incomplete statistics, the planned production capacity of China’s lithium battery market in 2021 will exceed 1.6T, and the planned production capacity of China’s lithium battery market in 2022 will exceed 2.4T. Driven by the implementation of planned production capacity, China’s lithium battery equipment market will achieve a scale of 100 billion in 2022, and it is expected that by 2025, the scale of China’s lithium battery equipment market will exceed 150 billion.

However, behind the booming lithium battery equipment industry, there are still pain points such as low integration, inconsistent size standards and specifications, and discrete automation, and these pain points are the key to triggering robot applications.

From the perspective of the lithium battery industry itself, the iteration of lithium battery technology is accelerating, and the processes are complicated and numerous. CTP technology 3.0, blade batteries, short knife batteries, 4680 large cylindrical batteries, and different module design structures have put forward higher requirements for the automation of lithium battery production.

In addition, the application characteristics of lithium batteries themselves have extremely high safety requirements, and the demand for traceability of the entire production process has also forced lithium battery factories to pursue automation to ensure the consistency and stability of products. Therefore, intelligent and automated equipment has a great place in the lithium battery industry.

By combining robot technology with lithium battery production technology, the automation and intelligence of lithium battery production lines can be greatly improved, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality, and driving lithium battery manufacturers to upgrade and transform their technology.

According to research by relevant institutions, at present, the penetration rate of robots in various process sections of power batteries has reached 82%, focusing on the full process of lithium battery core making, module section, PACK process section, etc., using robots and digital technology to achieve highly flexible and intelligent production lines, and continuously improve the utilization rate, yield rate, and production efficiency of lithium battery production lines.

High-standard automotive-grade power batteries put forward higher requirements for production efficiency, product consistency, and product quality. At the same time, there are many types of new energy vehicles, corresponding to a variety of lithium battery specifications and sizes. Lithium battery manufacturers are in urgent need of highly flexible, efficient, and high-quality digital production lines to ensure sufficient production capacity to meet market demand.

Finally

In the automated future factory, industrial robots and end effectors are gradually taking on important roles. Industrial robots can effectively solve the problems of single-machine automation, manual product switching, long delivery cycle, and low production line intelligence in the lithium battery industry. End effectors can also provide higher production flexibility and production efficiency, and provide plug-and-play solutions to escort the efficiency and quality of the lithium battery industry.
