Data and EVs to shape 2030 vehicle manufacturing

How far advanced will the factory of the future be by 2030? Michael Nash investigates

The car factory of the future will be highly efficient, flexible and digital, leveraging huge amounts of data and sophisticated machines to create a range of electrified models that will be personalised to suit individual customer needs.
