Lucid announced expansion of AMP-1 Arizona manufacturing plant

Electric luxury car maker Lucid on Wednesday announced the expansion of its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Plant (AMP-1) in Arizona to increase production capacity for future SUVs including Lucid Gravity.

The AMP-1 expansion includes a new 3 million square foot manufacturing facility and warehouse. This will lead to an overall manufacturing facility area of over 3.85 million square feet for the entire plant in Arizona.

The expanded part will install a new general assembly line, new quality, and semi-knock down (SKD) centers, expanded boxy and paint shops, a relocated logistics center, and a relocated and expanded powertrain facility.

Additionally, the AMP-1 will host a vertically integrated stamping facility to deliver high-quality output, more flexibility, and reduce production costs.

This new production facility expansion comes after two years of the plant inauguration for the Lucid Air.

Today marks the expansion of our U.S. manufacturing facility, Lucid AMP-1. At 3.85M sq ft., the facility sets the stage for the production of #LucidAir, and the game-changing #LucidGravity. AMP-1 reflects our continued commitment to Casa Grande and AZ. https://t.co/gByoP9RB8Y pic.twitter.com/GJ2epUlg7T
