The production facilities, Think Technology, are located at Aurskog, some 50km east of Oslo. The first electric vehicle production line was installed here in 1998.
Today, the facilities consist of an 8,000m2 production area, with one main assembly line. Many of our employees have experience from the Swedish automotive industry.
Present capacity at Aurskog is an annual of 5,000 units per shift. We are ramping up production and will produce several thousand vehicles in 2009. The production facilities are sub-assembly and assembly operations only. Porsche Consulting has helped us to make this one of most efficient small assembly plants in Europe, and Think Technologies has more than 17 years of experience in global procurement. TH!NK city consists of 570 bought-in components, shipped from suppliers in Europe, Asia and the US. Think Technology manages the global part supply logistics and carries out the final assembly, testing, validation and quality control sign-off of all vehicles.
The production facilities are designed for a lean manufacturing system. We strive to reduce all types of waste, to ensure an efficient factory. The facilities at Aurskog are powered and heated by clean and renewable hydroelectric power, and generate a minimum of waste and emissions. All manuals and production instructions are online, making the production paper-free. We have focused on creating a good working environment, resulting in a noise-free plant, with motivated and dedicated operators.
