Chris Shelley, CEO of Dymag [Short]

“We’re pleased with the progress we are making in cost-optimising our wheels and designing them for more scalable manufacture. Our next big step is to increase production capability from 2,000 units a year to 10,000 units a year. We’re currently investigating how we can utilise microfactories to help us achieve this scale flexibly and at lower capital cost than traditional factories, where clients need them, which will save hugely on emissions and shipping costs.

“The investments made into Dymag have also helped us look at more sustainable operations, including recycling composites and new materials that could be leveraged in future wheels. We are excited about the role our wheels can play in EVs as part of an overall system designed to save energy and have a much lower impact on its environment in the future.”
