The automotive sector is undergoing radical changes. The big production groups are considered to be the only solution capable of meeting the market requirements for fast-moving consumption and with a different diversification than in the past. In this process, production is also expected to change and innovate. How?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The news came out some weeks ago, the fusion between PSA (which includes, besides Peugeot, also Citroen, DS and Opel) and FCA went down in history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to this union, the new group will feature in the fourth place<\/strong> after Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi and Toyota in the world car production. This union will produce 8.7 million cars<\/strong> and the capitalisation will be around \u20ac 50 billion – important numbers indeed.<\/p>\n

To be honest, this news did not surprise me. On the one hand, the failed attempt to unite with Renault a couple of months ago, left me to believe that FCA would seek another way to grow, not only in numbers but in terms of stability.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you think about it, what is happening here (and not just in the FCA family) is an (almost) natural evolution in the direction that the automotive industry has been moving in for some time now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The automotive sector is undergoing rapid change. It is the big production groups that show the way in this direction.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Think about it: cars are expensive goods.<\/strong> For the people who buy them, but for those who produce them even more so.<\/p>\n

Unlike in the past, when cars were a status symbol, <\/em>a step into the future and a feeling of belonging, today cars are an optional product that is sought after especially for its convenience, and only few people now consider cars to be a benefit.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, however, innovation massively increased the quality of cars, thus increasing their value but their cost as well.<\/p>\n

These are things that you see every day since you work in this sector, and in order for your efforts to be seen and recognised, you have to try and invert this trend.<\/p>\n

To be clear: selling cars is still our main goal.<\/strong> No sector change can be used as an excuse. Being successful in this endeavour whilst taking account of all the ongoing changes is a big challenge.<\/p>\n

Indeed, and because of the elements I was telling about, today\u2019s trend is to optimise investments and resources, thus creating common platforms to make production faster, reduce costs, make processes leaner, while clearly ensuring high quality standards that customers can recognise themselves in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This will be the future of cars: big groups that support each other by working in synergy and that aim for excellence to continue to gain customers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Cars are still luxury goods, but they no longer are considered indispensable, as was the case in the past. For this reason, production must mirror this change.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Obviously, in order to stay in the game, you still need to meet certain criteria, like keeping up-to-date and not making mistakes.<\/p>\n

Car parts must become more lightweight, sure, but at the same time we must strive for infinite and flexible production, without downtime so as to be fast and efficient. Quality must be kept at high standards and must be certified, whilst looking to save money for the car maker.<\/p>\n

And so on.<\/p>\n

It is very concrete issues that thousands of engineers and car makers are faced with, and they don\u2019t always find a solution.<\/p>\n

It is the issues that we also had and that we were able to solve through a lot of research, many trials and a high degree of perseverance, thanks to the One-Shot\u00ae Method.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The One-Shot\u00ae Method<\/strong> is a patented system that allows you to produce car parts with advanced polymers, it solves the very issues that car makers try to solve by creating huge groups that support each other.<\/p>\n

In particular, the One-Shot\u00ae Method guarantees:<\/p>\n
