Manufacturing news, articles and research, updated daily. Organiser of live events including Smart Factory Expo.
Hi Reader,
Our top story in this week's Smart Factory Digital Briefing is the research fresh out of 英国阿斯顿大学 looking at the landscape of the UK's electric vehicle industry. Fresh on the heels of the news from the steel industry of jobs losses at Tata Steel 's Port Talbot site, it appears the EV sector is another in a spot of bother.
Research has shown that a dependency on battery imports will place the UK at a distinct disadvantage, and unable to take advantage of the market opportunities presented by the EV revolution. And, such is the pace of change in the sector, it is predicted that the window won't stay open forever. Check out the full story below.?? ????
