Arrival Microfactory Production Cell

Microfactories


                Every Arrival vehicle is produced in small-footprint, low cost Microfactories. Microfactories use our new method of cell-based assembly instead of the traditional automotive production line. They can be deployed quickly – making use of existing commercial spaces and producing any type of vehicle to meet demand.
                

Each Microfactory serves a city and its community – sourcing from the local area and developing custom vehicles for the region they’re in. By localising the supply chain, Microfactories help to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing.

Serving local communities

At Arrival we realise that products need to be defined by the processes that make them. Designing vehicles for Microfactory assembly is core to our product development process and is an essential part of what makes our vehicles unique.

Product and process

Arrival Composite Materials

Materials

Arrival’s proprietary composite materials are low cost, strong and lightweight. 50% lighter than steel, yet durable and resistant to damage. Any vehicle maintenance required is easier and more cost-effective as a result.

Eliminating the use of sheet metal has removed complicated stamping and welding processes during manufacturing. Everything is moulded and shaped to form the vehicle, which allows us to create any type of vehicle rapidly and on demand.

Multiple vehicle types at speed

We’ve considered the environmental impact throughout our vehicle’s lifetime - ensuring the materials are recyclable and reusable at every stage of production, use and end of life.

First and second life application

Arrival Unified Computing Platform (UCP)

Elements


                At Arrival, we design, engineer and manufacture the components of our vehicles in-house. Vertical integration enables us to control the functionality and cost of our products – passing the cost-savings on to the customer.
                

All of our components are designed on a modular grid-based system for simple assembly. Each component can be used across Arrival’s different vehicle platforms, allowing manufacturing at scale and rapid development of new vehicle types.

Modular and versatile

Arrival components are all plug & play – hardware that’s enabled by software. Each component is easily upgradeable over the air and when it’s time, predictive software empowers quick replacement. This ability to upgrade both hardware and software extends the lifespan of an Arrival vehicle by twice that of an average commercial vehicle.
