RTX launches new Collins Aerospace facility with flexible manufacturing system in Singapore
[SINGAPORE] Defence conglomerate RTX launched its new Collins Aerospace facility at Seletar Aerospace Park in Singapore on Tuesday (Jul 15). This marks the beginning of construction at the aerospace park, part of RTX's US$250 million investment to expand its advanced manufacturing and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities in Singapore. The event was officiated by Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Gan Kim Yong, who joined Paolo Dal Cin, senior vice-president of RTX's operations and supply chain, and representatives from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) to mark the start of construction on the future site. The current plant of Collins Aerospace in Bedok is the sole manufacturing site for complex gears used in a wide array of modern commercial aircraft platforms, where its major customers are key airframers such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and Gulfstream. New flexible manufacturing system (FMS) workflow As part of this venture, its new facility will adopt an entirely new workflow based on a FMS. This means that a new manufacturing engineering team of 60 persons in the new facility with deep manufacturing process expertise in FMS and Industry 4.0 technologies will be set up. It will be the first of such teams in Collins Aerospaces' global network. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up The move will reportedly double its manufacturing volumes by 2033, and introduce high-value component assembly work to Singapore, said DPM Gan in his speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of the new manufacturing facility on Tuesday. In addition, the company will also upskill its existing workers at its Bedok plant, so that they will be prepared for the shift to the new facility. The launch of this new facility follows the recent agreement between RTX and EDB on Jun 18, which outlines a 10-year roadmap to strengthen Singapore's aerospace ecosystem. It focuses on digitalisation, efficiency, workforce development, and expanding high-value capabilities, with this new facility playing a key role in bringing that shared vision to life. Collins Aerospaces was one of the first aerospace companies to establish a presence in Singapore more than 50 years ago. Substantial gains in aerospace segment in May: EDB According to data from Singapore's EDB, the aerospace segment expanded by 43.6 per cent in May, as it was bolstered by higher production of aircraft parts and more MRO jobs from commercial airlines. This is up from 9.5 per cent year on year in April, and 30.9 per cent year on year in March. Transport engineering output on a whole rose 25.6 per cent year on year in May. As for the marine and offshore engineering segment, it increased by 5.3 per cent in May, on account of higher levels of activities in the shipyards. The land segment, however, declined 12 per cent. The transport engineering cluster cumulatively grew 18 per cent for the period January to May this year, compared to the same period a year ago. In 2024, Singapore's aerospace industry achieved an output valued at over S$18 billion, which represents a growth of more than 15 per cent year on year. 'Amidst the rise of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as automation and robotics, we want to keep Singapore competitive as a hub for advanced manufacturing,' DPM Gan said. 'We do not set out to compete on cost alone; instead, we differentiate ourselves through our emphasis on quality, innovation, reliability and long-term value,' he added.

Tesla to sell Model Y cars in India, starting at $89k
Find out what's new on ST website and app. People are seen outside the Tesla showroom ahead of its opening in Mumbai on July 15. MUMBAI - Tech billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla has priced its Model Y at about US$69,770 (S$89,450) in India, the highest among major markets, its website showed, as the electric carmaker geared up to open its first showroom in Mumbai on July 15. With delivery estimated to start from the third quarter, Tesla will drive on to India's busy roads, targeting a niche premium EV segment that accounts for just 4 per cent of overall sales in the world's third-largest car market. It will compete mainly with German luxury giants such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, rather than domestic mass-market EV players such as Tata Motors and Mahindra. Tesla's Model Y rear-wheel drive will set back buyers 6 million rupees (S$89,000), while its Model Y long-range rear-wheel drive costs 6.8 million rupees. That compares with a starting price from US$44,990 in the United States, 263,500 yuan (S$47,100) in China, and €45,970 (S$68,800) in Germany. Grappling with excess capacity in global factories and declining sales, Tesla has adopted a strategy of selling imported vehicles in India, despite duties and levies running into roughly 70 per cent. On July 15, police guarded Tesla's first showroom in India as media crowded outside the office complex where it is located and the chief minister of the western state of Maharashtra, home to the Indian commercial capital, arrived for the launch.

Access was tightly regulated, with no sign of fans or onlookers nearby. Tesla's website showed the Model Y available for registration in Mumbai at an on-road price of 6.1 million rupees, with a booking deposit of 22,220 rupees. The firm's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability is on offer at an additional cost of 600,000 rupees, with future updates promised to enable operation with minimal driver intervention. While the current features require active driver supervision and are not fully autonomous, Tesla says the system will evolve through over-the-air software updates. REUTERS
