Complete Vehicle Manufacturing

The one-stop shop allows our customers to benefit from extensive support and expertise for vehicle concept industrialization. Starting with the feasibility check of the initial concept, the definition of vehicle targets, and supplier sourcing – we have got you covered! Our engineers work in tandem with our manufacturing team to ensure precision from the design to the manufacturing. Sophisticated development and testing processes guarantee optimized production planning and a quick time-to-market.

At Magna, sustainability is one of our key objectives. Achieving it means reducing our environmental impact at every stage of our complete vehicle manufacturing process. We are proud that our Graz plant is carbon-neutral since 2022, but we want to go even further. We see raising our employees’ awareness of the environmental impact of our business and helping them to reduce their personal carbon footprints as essential steps on the road to sustainability.

In an industry as complex as the automotive sector, the ability to plan, manage and monitor a vast number of potentially interdependent processes is essential. Magna’s combination of project management experience and unique vehicle engineering and manufacturing expertise means we can take overall responsibility for all our projects.

The combination of high complexity and huge numbers of variables can make managing automotive supply chains a challenge. We can help! Our comprehensive package includes proven, standardized processes and a wide, reliable network of international suppliers and partners, as well as all our years of experience and expertise.

The need to reduce global CO₂ emissions is a mega-trend that will define our future. Cutting emissions will mean optimizing the way materials are used and processed for specific applications within automotive manufacturing. Achieving this aim at the same time as cutting costs will require new technologies for creating bonds between fundamentally dissimilar materials, such as between various metals (steel, aluminum, magnesium, etc.) and other materials (including hybrid materials or polymer reinforced metals), as well as between metals and surface coatings (such as Alodine on aluminum or zinc on steel).

The automotive market is being driven by an ever more diverse range of factors, and demand for mobility is increasing rapidly. Increasingly complex products and processes are combining with ever shorter product, market, technology and innovation cycles to pose new challenges for the automotive industry. As a leading player in the automotive sector, we can help you open the door to new niches, shorter development times, efficient platform strategies, more modularization, new materials and innovative vehicle design.

We work in partnership with our customers and draw on our extensive experience to develop suitable solutions. Our goals are flexible business models that are tailored to meet our customers' specific needs. We focus on a close cooperation with our customers regarding our fields of competence to ensure a successful project execution.

Magna’s extensive experience in the field of virtual development is a key factor in our success. Our proven simulation methods and efficient development processes ensure a high degree of design maturity in the early phases of a project. The results: reduced development risk and cost. Virtual reality tools facilitate a global collaboration, ensure high-quality information in every project phase and enable decisions to be made quickly.

We can produce flexible quantities for a wide range of OEMs and new entrants through shared facilities and products. Magna does not only support automakers in the production of the vehicles, but also takes over the complete project management and coordination between the parties involved in the shared product.
