Fanuc has received another major order in the field of e-mobility: scheduled for delivery in 2022, the company will supply the Cologne plant of Ford with around 500 robots to assist in the construction of electric car bodies.
The Ford manufacturing facility in Cologne is currently undergoing transition into the Ford Cologne Electrification Center, a development and production site for electric vehicles that will serve the entire European market. In 2023, the carmaker expects its first purely electric high-volume passenger model to roll off the plant’s production line. Ford has also announced that it will only offer battery-electric passenger cars in Europe from 2030.
Headquartered in Japan, Fanuc operates in more than 100 countries worldwide, providing customers from a wide range of industries with solid and reliable customer service internationally. In the USA, the company has been working closely with Ford for many years, and it’s now ready to also expand this successful cooperation to Europe.
