Introduction: Inside Arrival’s Futuristic Factory
Inside arrival’s futuristic factory, a British electric vehicle developer, has announced the opening of its first microfactory in the United States. The factory is under construction in York County in the state of South Carolina and is planned to begin producing electric buses in the fourth quarter of 2021. There are plans to build 1,000 battery buses each year.

Micro-factories are made possible by the construction method: the body is designed so that welding work with expensive production robots becomes obsolete as the welding process is simplified. There is also no need for a painting line, since the panels of the outer skin are made from a special combination of a composite material and a low-cost thermoplastic – very similar to an e.Go Life vehicle, where the plastic itself is colored, not the vehicle.
