Case Study: LEVC (London Electric Vehicle Company) achieves 25-40% estimated system cost savings with aPriori

LEVC Identifies 25-40% Savings on All Systems Estimated with aPriori

London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC), maker of the modern electric black cab, faced a gap in manufacturing cost management as it launched a new design, factory and supplier base. Speed to market had been prioritized over an integrated costing strategy, and existing costing tools proved generic, data-heavy and reliant on specialist knowledge, leaving LEVC without a reliable way to identify internal or supplier savings.

LEVC adopted aPriori’s digital manufacturing simulation—leveraging 3D CAD import and regional data libraries—to generate detailed manufacturability and cost models for chassis and interior components. This enabled targeted supplier discussions, avoided costly retooling or offshoring, and delivered rapid impact: within the first year LEVC identified 25–40% savings on all systems estimated and plans to roll the approach out across the Geely group as a center of excellence.
