Electric vehicles are not just a trend; they are the future. The global EV market is expected to surge by 22% this year alone, a clear indication of the world’s commitment to decarbonising transport and embracing a sustainable future.
Such growth means that electric vehicles will certainly dominate our roads soon and that battery and EV manufacturers will be looking to upscale operations, ready to increase production and capitalize on demand. Consequently, EV manufacturers will need to install new production machinery, rationalise existing assets, relocate individual pieces of equipment, and even embark on full production line or entire factory moves.
At AIS Eurelo, we are renowned for our expertise in international machinery and industrial equipment moves. For decades, we have supported the automotive industry as it moves operations across borders to support shifting priorities, launch new models, enter new markets and access the right labour. That’s why we are so well-placed and equipped to support this growing automotive subsector.
Choosing the right International partner
With an array of successful machinery and industrial equipment moves to our name, we know how to ensure the completion of even the most complex projects on time, within budget, and without incident.
From our four major European bases consisting of an 8 Branch network in the UK, Lodz in Poland, Essen & Miltenberg in Germany and Olomouc in the Czech Republic – we serve EV and battery manufacturers across the continent and beyond with a turnkey service that includes all logistical, operational and safety aspects of machinery and industrial equipment moves.
Each project is assigned a project manager who is fully responsible for the move at every stage, including all cost and programme planning, the creation of risk assessments and method statements and regular and proactive communication with the client team. Our in-house team of planners, health and safety advisors, riggers, fitters, and M&E engineers, as well as our trusted partners, support the project manager, guaranteeing a well-resourced and highly experienced team is always in place.
We take a meticulous approach to project planning, as health and safety are cornerstones of our business. Adhering to health and safety best practices at all times and following local regulations in the country we’re working in allows us to ensure the safety of our client’s personnel, their assets, and ours.
In addition, our in-house fleet of more than 60 specialist lifting assets provides a compelling advantage. We are always equipped with the appropriate equipment to suit the weight, size, and facility layout of your equipment. And, as our fleet is wholly-owned, we can also move it between projects and across borders with ease, so you can rely on AIS Eurelo to remove, relocate, and install equipment anywhere in the world.
