In this MAX episode, Lei sits down with Marco Kollmeier, former Executive at Benteler, an Austrian tier 1 supplier that makes it’s bones providing components and modules for the automotive industry, in the areas of chassis, body, engine and exhaust systems as well as future technologies such as system solutions for electric vehicles.

A couple of years ago, Benteler’s EV Systems business unit that Kollmeier led developed an EV platform and in an effort to separate the traditional business from the new opportunities in mobility and EVs, last November Benteler spun off that EV Systems BU and the Holon brand was created with Kollmeier peeling off to head that company.

For those wondering, HOLON comes from the greek and means something that is both a whole and part of a whole. HOLON recently unveiled its first product at CES, the L4 capable ‘MOVER’ that is based on the EV platform that looks to compete with Cruise, Waymo and Baidu in the robotaxi space. Lei talks to Marco about HOLON and a whole lot more.
