Local Motors was an American automobile manufacturing company founded in 2007 by John B. Rogers Jr. and based in Phoenix, Arizona. Known for their open-source motor vehicle designs, cutting-edge expertise in 3D-printing cars, and impressive self-driving vehicle technology, Local Motors unfortunately ceased operations in January 2022, according to former employees on LinkedIn.
Local Motors' innovative business model revolved around microfactories, which allowed for the quick turnaround of customized vehicles in weeks, compared to the years it typically takes in the industry. They introduced remarkable automobiles such as the Rally Fighter, the world's first co-creation designed car, and the Strati, the world's first 3D-printed electric car. They also unveiled the Olli shuttle, an autonomous, electric-powered vehicle that was partly 3D-printed and designed for low-speed environments.
