Autonomous vehicle and mobile robotics company Aurrigo is to relocate its global headquarters and core design and manufacturing centre to a new UK facility at Power Park in Coventry.
The new site will span over 130,000 square feet – more than three times the size of Aurrigo’s current UK facility – and will serve as its UK hub for advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle development, high-volume manufacturing and ongoing automotive activities.
The expanded facility, which is just a few miles from Aurrigo’s existing facility, will support the delivery of the recently announced £6.28m contract with Ultra Global for 25 autonomous guided vehicles.
The facility also complements the company’s international hub and licensing programme, which is designed to accelerate global commercialisation through local partnerships, funding and manufacturing support across Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia and the United States.
Once fully operational, the facility is projected to be capable of manufacturing up to 500 autonomous vehicles per annum.
“This new UK hub facility marks an important milestone for our business and our unwavering commitment to the UK,” says David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International.
“It significantly enhances our manufacturing and engineering capability, provides the capacity to scale in line with demand, and underpins our ambition to build a sustainable, capital-efficient platform for long-term growth.”
Keene adds that the new facility also gives Aurrigo space for an on-site autonomous vehicle test track, supporting in-house validation, customer demonstrations and accelerated development cycles.
