Building cars by hand is an increasingly endangered art, and the few carmakers that still persist tend to charge rather a lot for their products.
Renault’s Twizy electric minicar doesn’t quite feature hand-rolled fenders or curvaceous aluminum bodywork, but unusually it uses far less automation than you’d expect of a modern vehicle–in fact, the whole car is built up by humans, rather than robots.
Low production numbers are the reason, as is the relatively low purchase price. Production automation would quickly boost costs–and therefore purchase price–to a point where its manufacture would no longer be viable.
The tiny Twizy is built at Renault’s Valladolid plant, in Spain.
Every aspect of the Twizy’s hand-built production–not to mention the vehicle itself–has been designed to reduce the investment required to build it, yet ensure maximum quality and efficiency.
Seeing each bare Twizy frame being pushed down the line by hand is a far cry even from Smart’s build process for the Fortwo Electric drive. At the same time, you can see how much work goes into producing a car, even when it’s as small and simple as the light-weight electric Twizy.
And while it’s no hand-built Aston Martin or Morgan sports car, it’s nice to know each $9,000 vehicle has had that hand-finished touch…
