Our innovative fiber composite technology enables us to develop individual vehicle concepts. By reducing the complexity, we also lower tooling costs and the impact on our environment. This allows us to offer sustainable mobility concepts that are profitable even at low volumes.
Traditional vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) focus on models with high profit margins and models that can be sold in large volumes in order to amortise the high development and production costs.
UMECS specialises in the development of individual mobility concepts, which target exactly those markets not interesting for OEMs: Niche markets in urban areas.
The focus at UMECS is to reduce complexity – achieved through our technology and our platform approach. This allows us to develop not only more cost-efficiently, but also significantly faster than the competition. It takes us only 8 months from the initial idea to a fully functional prototype and 24 months to small series production.
The flexibility of our approach allows us to focus on sustainability and to react quickly to technical and political developments. At the core is our 'glocalisation' approach to production: we produce locally in micro factories with local staff and resources, while we act looking at the whole picture. Thanks to the flexible approach, global scaling is always an option.
Sustainable materials. Glocalisation – local production, global action. Long durability.
Together, we want to shape the future of e-mobility. In doing so, we can draw on more than twenty years of experience in the automotive as well as the insurance and banking industries. Our know-how in the areas of technology and business development are the building bricks for the mission of UMECS. On top, our strong collaboration with technology partners and project teams allows us to achieve extraordinary results.
