Arcimoto, Inc.

Arcimoto designs and manufactures three wheeled electric vehicles for urban mobility and fleet use. Their Oregon production facility combines robotic welding cells for tubular frames, automated pouch cell battery assembly, and a clean room for final electronics integration. Each FUV undergoes dynamometer testing for powertrain validation and automated end of line quality checks (brake, steering, software calibration). Arcimoto’s lean manufacturing approach yields around 2,000 units annually, balancing in house subassembly with key outsourced components (tires, wiring harnesses) to maintain cost competitiveness.

Sales operate primarily direct to consumer, with an online configurator feeding orders directly into ERP driven production scheduling. Arcimoto’s service network supports rapid software updates over the air, on site battery health diagnostics, and modular part replacement, ensuring minimal downtime for fleet customers. R&D initiatives focus on extended range battery packs, enhanced safety features (airbags, reinforced chassis), and low cost sensors for autonomous capability, positioning Arcimoto as a nimble innovator in micro EV manufacturing.
