Off-Highway Vehicles

We help manufacturers of agricultural, construction, and specialty equipment develop their production networks and sites. That can mean consolidating, relocating or closing facilities or building entirely new ones.

We work with you to lay the groundwork for successful investment and transformation projects. Together, we develop production and site strategies, analyze sites, plant networks and supply networks, and assess which technology and investment options are feasible. This gives project teams and management a sound basis for making decisions.

We also help clients build business cases that cover capital and operating expenditures (CapEx and OpEx), access funding, manage programs and transformation projects, and address organizational needs. This gives you a clear plan for growth, modernization, and new production capacity.

We focus on regionalizing supply chains, safeguarding configure-to-order business models and transforming existing brownfield sites. 

We design factories around the production process. We start with the requirements for production, assembly, and logistics. From there, we develop material flows, production concepts, and layouts before designing the buildings, utilities and infrastructure.

We bring master planning and the design of production processes, systems, equipment, logistics, buildings, energy systems, and infrastructure into one plan. We take into account requirements specific to each industry segment, such as mixed-model assembly, kitting, heavy-load logistics, battery integration, and test areas.

Planning production, logistics, equipment and buildings together lays the groundwork for an on-time start of production (SOP), and a stable ramp-up. Digital factory models and simulations show early on how much space and investment you’ll need, what capacity you can expect, and what options you have for future development. This gives you as much flexibility as possible for the future.

As your lead designer or specialist design partner, we take responsibility for production, equipment, and buildings through a single team. 

We make procurement and contract awards clear and predictable on complex industrial projects. We support the entire process for everything from production equipment, material handling systems, and plant utilities to buildings and infrastructure.

We prepare bid documents, assess bids on technical and commercial grounds, and help select the best partners. We also help keep projects on schedule and on budget, meet quality targets, secure permits, and put the right contracts in place. This lays the groundwork for successful delivery. 

We manage complex factory, infrastructure and real estate projects through to successful completion. As project manager, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCM) partner or owner’s representative, we coordinate design, suppliers, construction, and commissioning around shared project goals. When you expand or modify a plant that’s still operating, we ensure a safe transition from existing operations to new production. We manage costs, schedules, quality, and risks throughout the project so you can stay in control at every stage. 

We help you move from construction to reliable production. We coordinate commissioning for buildings, utilities, production equipment, and logistics systems and help stabilize production and material flows during ramp-up.

Once the plant is running, we support operational excellence, plant optimization, energy, and sustainability programs and the use of KPIs to manage performance in areas such as facility management. This helps you build a productive, flexible site that can adapt to future demands. 

Off-highway manufacturers are increasingly using connected, automated, and sustainable production systems.

We help clients introduce digital twins, virtual commissioning, BIM, AI applications, automated in-plant logistics, and robotic production concepts. We also help them decarbonize, develop ESG strategies, reduce energy use and CO₂ emissions, make industrial water systems more resilient and pursue sustainability certifications.

This helps factories become more productive and flexible and stay competitive over the long term. Smart factories, electrification, autonomous systems, and data-driven factory controls are becoming increasingly important.
