If the Electric Taxi Proposal Is Accepted, Do You Think That the Production of the Electric Taxi Should Commence at the North East Factory or at the West Midlands Factory? Justify Your View.

There are many different areas which need to be assessed when deciding where the production of the new electric taxi should take place, there are certain issues about the possibility of the production and also about the level of the production and the expertise needed for this production.

When discussing whether they should start the factory at in the North East there are key parts which need to be looked into, this is due to the development which they are starting and also due to the new product which they are going to be making. Peter wishes for the North East factor to be converted into the electric factory, he believes this should happen due to the some good reasons. He has approached the research and development team at an electrical engineering company in the north east which would be happy to make the batter for them for their new electric taxi’s, this is a benefit because they will have the expertise of these trained professionals to actually design this new battery and install it, this could be a huge benefit as the engineers are local so therefore they will be able to come to the factory when needed if they have been any faults with the battery as well. This provides a good level of efficiency within the factor and allows for them to make less errors than before, this will also be a benefit as this is a new product which they aren’t used to so having the electrical engineers will allow them to make less errors but also to develop their training with this newer technology which in a future will be the main fuel for cars. The employees will have more experience and this can lead to greater job opportunities in the future as they will have a greater understanding of the these new electric engines, and they will have been taught by professionals. The target market for the new electric taxis is aimed at cities such as London and other places around Europe as it is predicted to have the greatest growth in the foreseeable future. If they wish to move the cars into Europe then they will need to be near a port so they can ship the cars abroad, for the NE factory they are only 20 miles away from a dock, this means that they will easily be able to transport all the new electric cars without much effort, due to the short distance, this will lower the fixed costs and will allow them to be more efficient with their revenue. Due to being closer to the port they will be able to invest more revenue
