Welded by experts
Our engineer Vinicius and project manager Alexander were guests in Vojkovice at the SW-MOTECH Czech Republic factory. The frames for the VIA cargo bike are made in this small town near the city of Brno. The Czech colleagues weld the individual frame components expertly. In the first step, the welders manufacture the frames by hand. For series production, the Czechs use a welding robot that precisely welds the frames.
Powder-coated aluminum
After the frames are welded, they go to the large powder coating plant. The plant cleans the frame, applies the powder to the aluminum, and then the frame goes into the oven, which heats the frame and the powder so that the paint sits firmly on the frame afterwards.
Team-Work in Czech Republic
Now the Czech colleagues are welding the first frames on the welding robot and at the beginning of October we will assemble the next VIA cargo bikes in Rauschenberg. From November on we will visit the dealers with these bikes and present them all over Germany. Thanks to the Czech team with Managing Director Richard, Project Manager Roman, welding expert Tomasz and all the other colleagues in Vojkovice who are helping to build the VIA 1.
