AACHEN, Germany, May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Next.e.GO Mobile SE and Quimmco Autopartes y Maquinados, S.A. DE C.V.

(QUESTUM) cooperate on market entry launch and market test in Mexico  

    Next.e.GO Mobile SE (e.GO), the only independent European electric car

manufacturer, plans to enter the Mexican market in cooperation with the

industrial consortium Grupo Quimmco from Monterrey, Mexico, specifically with

QUESTUM, its subsidiary company. e.GO is aiming to build a production facility

in Mexico. e.GO´s unique 5G-ready micro-factory is perfectly suited not only to

serve the growing Mexican market but later also to supply parts to other e.GO

facilities in the American continent.

    Established to produce one of the most sustainable Battery Electric

Vehicles (BEV), e.GO is leveraging its modular and scalable micro-factory. The

company has successfully developed a disruptive industry 4.0-based production

model (Internet of Production) that significantly lowers the capex requirements

and time-to-market, while ensuring highly efficient production with a low

break-even point. e.GO's decentralized production system combined with

QUESTUM's expertise will contribute to the local economy and help create

employment opportunities.

    QUESTUM is the strategic and technology partner for the local market with

access not only to the territory but to key customers and large automotive

fleets. With the e.GO vehicles, Quimmco  plans to electrify vehicle fleets

nationwide.  

    "With this agreement, e.GO has not only found the right industrial partners

with strong access to local market, but at the same time, through their

long-established supply relationship with key industrial groups and fleets,

creates an increasing order book that will underpin our growth aspirations in

Mexico from the outset," explains Ali Vezvaei, Chairman of the Management Board

at Next.e.GO Mobile SE.

    Manuel Valdes, QUESTUM´s CEO sees e.GO as an important new pillar for the

diversification of the business: "We have been developing the electromobility

market within Mexico for many years, so when the idea of e.GO came across, we

were immediately enthusiastic. We will be part of a true success story of

German engineering and quality building environmentally friendly e-mobility.

This agreement with e.GO is an important milestone for us to further expand our

business in the e-mobility and automotive sector."
