The models that are already assembled in the country are the Mustang Mach-E of Ford in Cuautitlán, State of Mexico, and some others in JAC at its plant in Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo, but little by little the assemblers are beginning to join these changes in the assembly lines.
“The automotive and auto parts industry is already facing a paradigm shift in which the objective of zero emissions is the impulse of innovation, which has triggered the technological change of electric mobility in the country”, says Francisco González, president of the National Auto Parts Industry (INA).
For example, at the beginning of February, the German manufacturer bmw announced an investment for 800 million euros aimed at producing electric cars at its San Luis Potosí plant, which stands out globally for the company for being both the most modern and the most sustainable within its portfolio.
The mark of the four rings, Audidid not want to be left behind and from Ingolstadt, Germany, announced that its Puebla plant will switch to electric production in 2027, in which it currently produces the gasoline-powered Q5, but that has half the space available in the complex, so he intends to make a mirror floor.
The production of electric cars implies change within the assembly lines that is not minor. For example, a car that uses gasoline occupies a tank, pump and fuel line, an exhaust system, an internal combustion engine and the fuel injection system for its operation, mainly.
On the other hand, an electric vehicle requires a traction lithium ion battery packwhich are essential for its operation, as well as a charging port, an electric traction motor and an electric power controller, as well as a DC/DC converter and a cooling system, according to the INA.
