Interview: Jay Rogers, Chief Executive, Local Motors

When it comes to building cars, Local Motors has chucked out the rulebook. The OEM’s open source, micro-manufacturing model produces minuscule volumes compared to major car manufacturers. In the second quarter of 2015, the company will start taking pre-orders for its Reload Redacted Swim and Sport models. The vehicles, which will be 3D printed, were designed by Kevin Lo, a member of the Local Motors community website. Lo was one of 60 entrants to submit designs to the company, which will now produce the models under the Local Motors marque.
