en.Wedoany.com Reported - Aurrigo International in the UK recently announced the opening of its new UK hub facility located at Power Park in Coventry, which will be used for the development and manufacturing of autonomous vehicles. The company raised £14.1 million at the end of last year to support global expansion. The new facility covers 130,615 square feet, more than three times the size of its existing facilities, and will serve as the hub for its advanced engineering, development, high-volume manufacturing, and ongoing automotive activities for autonomous vehicles in the UK.
Once operational, the facility is expected to manufacture over 500 autonomous vehicles annually, with specific output depending on customer demand. The new site is equipped with ready-to-use infrastructure, including IT systems, furnished offices, electric vehicle charging facilities, and manufacturing equipment. Space is also reserved for constructing an on-site autonomous vehicle test track to support internal validation, customer demonstrations, and accelerated development cycles.
This expansion directly supports the company's recently announced international hub and licensing program, which accelerates its global commercialization strategy by seeking local partnerships, funding, and manufacturing support in Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States. The latest investment will also support a £6.28 million contract with Ultra Global for the delivery of 25 autonomous guided vehicles.
Professor David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo International, stated, "This new advanced manufacturing and engineering center is a significant milestone for our business and a testament to our unwavering commitment to the UK, providing investment in autonomous vehicle technology. It significantly enhances our manufacturing and engineering capabilities, offers scalable capacity on demand, and supports our ambition to build a sustainable, capital-efficient platform for long-term growth."
Board Chairman Andrew Cornish added that the facility represents an important step in the company's execution of its established growth strategy, reflecting orderly post-funding investment. It provides operational space for efficient scaling, supporting existing projects and further opportunities in business development.
