Introducing Lucid AMP-1, the future of electric vehicle production.


Lucid Motors Factory | Introducing Lucid AMP-1

 

Just under a year after breaking ground in Casa Grande, Arizona, Lucid motors finished construction on its first electric vehicle factory and have entered the commissioning process. Known as Lucid AMP-1 (Advanced Manufacturing Plant), it’s not just a first for them, it’s also the first greenfield, dedicated EV factory to be built in North America.  






Future-ready

AMP-1 was designed for what’s next. This spring it will start producing the groundbreaking Lucid Air. Looking forward, the site also allows for additional expansion, with the next phase expected to begin in 2021 – enabling production of Project Gravity, its premiere SUV.  



Accelerating innovation

The all-new manufacturing system at AMP-1 embraces advanced processes, such as an aircraft-inspired riveted and bonded monocoque body structure replacing spot welds. This gives the Lucid Air state-of-the-art structural efficiency.  


As lucid motors roll out the first Air models this spring, AMP-1 has the capacity to deliver up to 30,000 units per year. And in its final form, the manufacturing capacity will be up to 400,000 annually. They’ll begin production with the Lucid Air Dream Edition, followed quickly by Grand Touring and Touring models. The Lucid Air Pure joins the lineup in early 2022.  


AMP-1 at a glance


• First greenfield factory in North America dedicated to electric vehicle manufacturing

• Location: 590 acres in Casa Grande, Arizona 

• Construction time: Just under one year, now in the commissioning stage 

• Production capacity: 30,000 units per year initially, up to 400,000 units annually

New technology to reduce portholes

By:  University of Technology Sidney Researchers have developed new "intelligent compaction" technology, which integrates into a road roller and can assess in real-time the quality of road base compaction. Improved road construction can reduce potholes and maintenance costs, and lead to safer, more resilient roads. Months of heavy rain and floods have highlighted the importance of road quality, with poor construction leading to potholes and road subsidence. This not only causes tyre blowouts and structural damage to cars and trucks, but also increases the chance of serious accidents. The innovative machine-learning technique, which processes data from a sensor attached to construction roller, was developed by a research team from the University of Technology Sydney. The study was led by Associate Professor Behzad Fatahi, head of geotechnical and transport engineering, together with Professor Hadi Kahbbaz, Dr Di Wu and PhD student Zhengheng Xu. "We have develo
