Autocar announced it enhanced its manufacturing facility in Birmingham, Alabama, with an EV assembly line.

Autocar said its in-house designed power packs and HV battery packs are the first EV powertrain components being assembled on the new line. Andrew Taitz believes the new EV line empowers Autocar to keep delivering on customer expectations, regardless of powertrain choice.

Throughout the build phases of Autocar’s EV power units and battery packs, the company said assembly technicians access digital confirmation terminals and scanners to validate the health of each truck’s battery and electrical architecture.
