European electric motor production sites
- European engine production sites are increasingly manufacturing electric motors, in line with new emissions regulations (see article 1 on the 2022-17 Auto Analysis).
- Manufacturers preferred to keep their main internal combustion engine sites to gradually transform them into electric motor production plants rather than opening new factories dedicated to this type of manufacturing. In this context, some combustion engine production plants could however close between 2030 and 2035. Electric motor factories require less labor and fewer components.
- The factories that should survive this change of era are the following:
• Cassel in Germany and Gyor in Hungary for the Volkswagen group, Cleon in France for the Renault-Nissan group, Tremery in France for the Stellantis group. These three manufacturers have the largest engine production capacity.
• We must add Landshut in Germany for the BMW group, Schweinfurt in Germany for the Mercedes group, Wolverhampton in Great Britain for the Tata Motors group (Jaguar Land Rover), Skövde in Sweden for the Geely group (Volvo), Berlin in Germany for Tesla and Hildesheim in Germany for Bosch (electric Fiat 500).
- These ten factories will be the only ones to produce electric motors in Europe. In 2030, they will have a production capacity of 7 million engines per year, half of which for Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan and Stellantis.
