QWhere is the best industrial car in the world? I already said ans, the aurait answer was immediately fusé chez les experts: c’est Toyota. Over the decades, the Japanese manufacturer has imposed its production method based on the permanent improvement of the production process on the whole world.
In 2010, Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, who was in discussions to sort out his news company and mass-produce his voitures, naturally turned to the world’s numbers and adopted his “monozukuri,” the art of making choice. An agreement is concluded between le trublion et le roi japonais. Toyota invests 50 million dollars (45.8 million euros) to acquire 3% of Tesla and Luis Cède are a California company, which will be built with their former partner General Motors. Modest and warned, Akio Toyoda, patron of the era, ensures that this alliance will allow the entrepreneurial spirit of Tesla to learn.
« Nous devons apprendre d’eux »
2 juillet, the Japanese newspaper nikki nous apprend que l’élève a dépassé le maître. Toyota will adopt mass production techniques of aluminum cars mises au point par Tesla. Sur une voiture traditionalnelle, il faut près d’une centaine de points de soudure pour ex le squelette de la voiture. Avec les machines de moulage géantes d’aluminium, comme cells utilisée pour le models Y de Tesla, le corps de la voiture n’est constitué que deux pièces. The economy is considerable.
« Tesla is the leader of electric voitures, our devons apprendre d’eux », Recognized as director of Toyota quoted by him nikki. Une humilité qui n’a pas toujours été de mise. In 2016, under the pressure of the engineers, he persuaded those who weren’t going to learn about the electric job of those Californians, Toyota to return the participation. Dommage, elle vaudrait, aujourd’hui, plus $20 million.
C’est ce meme journey à Canossa qu’ont entrepris Ford, General Motors, Volvo et Rivian aux Etats-Unis, adopting the standard of battery chargers and the charging réseau of Tesla. Volkswagen devraient faire de meme. Eux qui dutaient fortement de la capacité du constructeur à monter en cadence industrially cannot verify that the signature a dépassé ses objetifs de vente et de production, avec près d’un demi-million de voitures sur le seul deuxième trimester. Celle-ci devrait will produce 2 million vehicles this year, up from 1.2 million in 2022.
And the quickest and most pragmatic in this course for the rattraper are neither Japanese nor Chinese, already using Tesla’s processes which are as interesting as Toyota. A recognition that is also a threat.
