Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is focusing on electromobility and with the ID. BUZZ brings its classic, the Bulli, to the road as a fully electric version. KUKA is responsible for the planning, delivery, assembly and commissioning of a fully automated body shop system for the underbody of the all-electric ID. BUZZ.

Most of the systems are assembled at KUKA in Augsburg, commissioned and then delivered to the customer. On an area of about 14,000 square meters, underbody 1 and 2 including associated subassemblies will be implemented.

Process technologies such as resistance spot welding, bonding, nut and stud welding are carried out in the 15 modular production lines. Among other things, so-called KUKA Rack Changer are used to supply the car body components to the production line.

Together into an electrifying future

KUKA is using its extensive know-how to support the biggest transformation in the history of the automotive industry and the new technical challenges it faces.

“Automated, intelligent systems are needed to meet the requirements for the cost-effective production of complex e-vehicles. Close cooperation between systems engineering and the automotive industry is more important than ever here” said Gerald Mies, CEO KUKA Systems GmbH.

Nissan's Rogue Hybrid Is More Than a New Model. It Is a U.S. Manufacturing Bet.

Nissan's Rogue Hybrid Is More Than a New Model. It Is a U.S. Manufacturing Bet.

Nissan’s 2027 Rogue Hybrid, powered by the e-POWER series-hybrid system, aims to regain relevance in the U.S. compact SUV segment while supporting a bigger shift toward U.S. manufacturing. Nissan plans to launch the gas-powered 2027 Rogue from Smyrna, Tennessee, in the spring, import the Rogue Hybrid from Japan initially, and begin U.S. hybrid production next year—supporting its goal to build 80% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. domestically by 2030.

  • 01Nissan is assessing whether demand could support a third production shift at its Smyrna and Canton facilities, which could lift U.S. output toward 1 million vehicles annually, up from about 487,000 in 2025.
  • 02The Rogue Hybrid uses e-POWER, a series-hybrid system where a gasoline engine generates electricity for dual electric motors, aiming for up to 40 mpg in city driving.
  • 03Nissan says the Rogue Hybrid (SR with Technology Package) will arrive in limited quantities in late fall 2026, with more trims expected in early 2027. The company plans to launch the gas-powered 2027 Rogue from its Smyrna, Tennessee, plant in the spring, followed by U.S. hybrid production next year.
