Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly used by electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers to adapt to shorter development cycles, consumer-driven designs, and sustainable production.
AR helps streamline the prototyping process by allowing engineers to test virtual prototypes using immersive visualizations to assess design aspects like fit, function, and aesthetics.
AR enables manufacturers to directly engage consumers in the design process, offering virtual showrooms that enhance customization journeys.
EV manufacturers use AR-assisted training, making training more engaging and practical to ensure smoother operations, quicker onboarding of new staff, and reduced downtime.
AR contributes to sustainability efforts by minimizing waste, optimizing energy usage, and responsibly sourcing materials.
AR is making it easier for EV manufacturers to design the next generation of electric vehicles and meet the market demand for sustainable transport options.
Volvo uses AR to allow first responders to assess damage on EV vehicles and proceed with caution.
BMW used AR for prototyping at a Munich pilot plant, saving up to a year of time on vehicle validation.
AR is critical for innovation, helping manufacturers set new standards for how vehicles are envisioned, created, and delivered to consumers.
AR will likely remain a cornerstone of innovation as it continues to evolve, designers using it to create cutting-edge vehicles aligned with consumer values.
