SAO JOSE DOS COMPOS, Brazil - Eve Holding, Inc., a subsidiary of Embraer S.A., has announced that the company has chosen Porsche Consulting to help it define the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics strategy.
The study will address scalability and distributed production as the urban air mobility (UAM) market evolves to meet projected demand. While digital transformation generates new options for the industry, comprehensive network solutions are under consideration to meet unique industry needs.
Considering advanced manufacturing research and innovation, the companies will combine their aeronautic and automotive expertise to support Eve’s implementation plan. The master services agreement that has been entered into by and between the companies includes studies on industrial operation, logistics, supply chain and parts distribution in an unprecedented approach optimized for efficiency, productivity and safety.
“We are pleased to work with a leader in the industry that can support us with strategic decision making. The UAM ecosystem is quickly evolving, and we can only achieve our goal if we spark enthusiasm for new ideas in manufacturing and supply chain areas,” said Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve. “I’m looking forward to seeing all of the new opportunities ahead, as technologies are profoundly changing industrial production.”
“We are very proud of our new partnership with Eve, because we have the opportunity to shape the future of mobility together”, said Rudy Leutz, CEO of Porsche Consulting Ltda. “We share the same values, and with industry-leading know-how, we will be able to question and challenge all existing concepts for logistics and manufacturing. We will redesign the industrialization concept for that new aircraft based on the highest levels of efficiency, quality, safety and customer centricity!”
