🏃➡️ Western automakers are falling behind China on design velocity, admits General Motors Automotive Holdings SL. In a new interview, Mark Reuss highlighted how Chinese manufacturers are rapidly adopting new innovations, allowing them to roll out new vehicles quickly and cheaply. According to Dominic Vergine, Monumo CEO: “You can’t speed up your design cycles if your processes are still siloed. Monumo’s technology helps OEMs achieve the same design velocity Chinese automakers enjoy – without retooling their factories." Full Yahoo story in the comments. 👇

⚡️Our very own Lisa Maria Kreusser joint research paper has been accepted at NeurIPS 2025⚡️ Heading to the event? Lisa will be there representing Monumo, and she’s excited to talk about how ML and industrial AI can reshape electric motor design. Come and say hi! 👇 Link to the paper in the comments.

💸 Are there hidden costs lurking in your EV motor design? According to McKinsey, up to 80% of BOM costs are locked in during the design phase – long before your motor ever reaches the production line. That means cost-cutting on the factory floor is often too late. Tooling tweaks and supplier negotiations can only do so much when the design itself has inefficiencies... At Monumo we see it often – teams chasing savings in materials or assembly when the real opportunity lies in design intelligence. When engineers explore system-level trade-offs early, it’s possible to: - Significantly reduce the overall system BOM cost - Make architectural trades that prioritise system-level efficiency - Minimise the impact on retooling You don’t have to rebuild your line to grow your margins.
 But you might need to rethink where value is created – and lost – in the process. Where do you find the biggest "hidden” costs in your design process? And what’s stopping your teams from tackling cost at the design stage rather than in production? #EVPowertrain #ElectricMotorDesign #ReducingBOMCosts #BoostingOEMMargin
