Adam - Head of Vehicle Engineering at Olympian Motors
Adam serves as the Head of Vehicle Engineering at Olympian Motors. In his role, he leads a team of engineers, builders, and makers to develop advanced vehicle technologies and manufacturing processes. His team includes key figures such as the CEO & Chief Architect, Head of Drivetrain, Strategy & Operations Lead, Supply-Chain Lead, Manufacturing Lead, Product & Engineering, and a Strategic Advisor.
Olympian Motors Modular Vehicle and Drivetrain System
Adam played a significant role in engineering Olympian Motors' new Modular Vehicle and Drivetrain System (MVDS). This system is characterized by its 'Lego' architecture which includes 4 core hardware modules and 2 software/OS modules. By focusing on this modular approach, the team was able to achieve substantial reductions in tooling, machinery, fitment, and labor costs.
Innovation in Manufacturing and Supply-Chain Models
Adam has been central to introducing a robust and innovative modular manufacturing and supply-chain model at Olympian Motors. The approach has greatly reduced production lead times, achieving a 60% faster turnaround compared to legacy automakers in the United States. This model also effectively shortens the design-to-production period from over 6 years to just 8 months.
Reduced Manufacturing Costs and Improved Efficiency
Under Adam’s leadership, Olympian Motors succeeded in achieving a 75-80% reduction in tooling, machinery, fitment, and labor costs. This significant cost reduction was achieved by minimizing bureaucracy, cutting down middle-management layers, and eliminating unnecessary bottlenecks and colorful PowerPoint presentations from the production process.
Sustainable Materials and Innovative Cockpit Design
Adam has also been instrumental in the adoption of sustainable materials such as steel, wood, and recycled materials in the production of Olympian vehicles. Additionally, he contributed to the development of the Olympian Operating System (OOS), which powers the minimalistic cockpits of Olympian vehicles using advanced technology.
