“Our KC-46 fleet is growing, and we’re ready to extend the reach of next-generation air refueling to more of our Airmen,” said Col. Jason Lindsey, U.S. Air Force KC-46 System program manager.
Boeing delivered the first KC-46A to the U.S. Air Force in January 2019. Since then, the company has delivered 42 tankers to Mc- Connell Air Force base in Kansas, Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma, Pease Air National Guard base in New Jersey and Seymour Johnson Air Force base in North Carolina.
Boeing is assembling KC-46A aircraft at its Everett, Washington, facility.
Arcimoto to Expand Manufactur- ing Footprint by 185,000 Square Feet In Eugene, Oregon
Arcimoto, Inc.® makers of affordable, electric vehicles for everyday commuters and fleets, announced that it has agreed to purchase a 185,000 square foot manufacturing site in Eugene, Oregon. More than five times
as large as Arcimoto’s current manufacturing facilities, the new site will be instrumental in achieving mass production of Arcimoto’s ultra-efficient electric vehicles.
“In 2020 we articulated an aggressive goal to achieve mass production within two years,” said Arcimoto Founder and CEO, Mark Frohnmayer. “We believe the acquisition of this existing manufacturing facility is a critical leap to- ward our goal.”
"Purchasing an existing facility helps re- duce risk during scale,” said Chief Strategy Officer Jesse Fittipaldi. “Instead of spending time designing and then building a new fac- tory, we can start right away with facility retrofits and production line layout. We are thrilled that this site became available at an opportune moment in our planning process."
The sale is contingent upon the Company’s complete and unconditional approval of the property and its physical condition, zoning and land use restrictions, and a Phase I en- vironmental assessment. Closing is scheduled to occur on March 31, 2021
