What to Expect
We are a small, fast team of capable Engineers. We specialize in architecture layouts and detail design of mass efficient castings and forgings like gearboxes and motor housings. We also work in plastics, sheet metal and bolted joint designs. Our work often has us reach across borders to our neighboring teams inside the drive unit and the rest of the vehicles where our Drive Units are used. Fast time to market is part of our DNA and we deliver products much faster than industry standard. The Tesla Semi is no exception.
