In conformity with the agreement signed with Chinese Officials, this factory will be built in Shanghai. According to the statement released by company’s official this factory will be state of the art vehicle factory which is expected to be producing 500,000 vehicles within five years of construction.

PA consultancy revealed its new ranking for analyzing the future of e-mobility performance. It is predicted that in 2019 Tesla will be the most selling electric car company but in 2021 it will be not in the same league. As German car maker company Daimler which is fifth in ranking will be the leading electric car company following by BMW, Renault/ Nissan/ Mitsubishi, VW will be at second, third, fourth ranking while Tesla will rank to seventh. It is said Tesla will face this doubtful future due to the production problems in Model 3 and its profit expectation however Tesla may be able to overcome these problems after signing their new agreement of opening Gigafatory in China

As said by Thomas Goettle, head of automotive at PA Consulting: “Achieving  targets and improving car makers’ future mobility performance score go hand in hand. However, this call to action will come with a huge impact on the companies’ staff resources. Our research shows that the roles of 267,000 employees at 16 brands across Europe will be under threat, of which 141,000 employees may need re-qualification – all within the next decade.”

Thomas continues: “To improve their future mobility performance score and meet  targets by 2021, car makers should not only accelerate and realign their new product development, they need to consider value creation in their supply chain and increase sales by customer focus.”
