SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, May 31, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Eve Holding, Inc. ("Eve") (NYSE: EVEX; EVEXW),
a leader in the development of next-generation Urban Air Mobility
("UAM") solutions and a carve-out from Embraer S.A. ("Embraer"),
announced today that it has chosen Porsche Consulting, Inc. to help
define the eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) supply
chain, global manufacturing and logistics macro strategy.
Considering advanced manufacturing research and innovation, the
companies will combine their aeronautic and automotive expertise to
support Eve's implementation plan. The master services agreement
that has been entered into by and between the companies includes
studies on industrial operation, logistics, supply chain and parts
distribution in an unprecedented approach optimized for efficiency,
productivity and safety.
The study will address scalability and distributed production as
the UAM market evolves to meet projected demand. While digital
transformation generates new possibilities for the industry's use
of more agile technologies focusing on business and sustainability
goals, comprehensive network solutions are under consideration to
meet unique industry needs.
"We are pleased to work with a leader in the industry that can
support us with strategic decision making. The UAM ecosystem is
quickly evolving, and we can only achieve our goal if we spark
enthusiasm for new ideas in manufacturing and supply chain areas,"
said Andre Stein, co-CEO of Eve.
"I'm looking forward to seeing all of the new opportunities ahead,
as technologies are profoundly changing industrial production."
"We are very proud of our new partnership with Eve, because we
have the opportunity to shape the future of mobility together",
said Rudy Leutz, CEO of Porsche
Consulting Ltda. "We share the same values, and with
industry-leading know-how, we will be able to question and
challenge all existing concepts for logistics and manufacturing. We
will redesign the industrialization concept for that new aircraft
based on the highest levels of efficiency, quality, safety and
customer centricity!"

About Porsche Consulting
The Porsche Consulting
management consultancy was founded in 1994 in response to the
successful restructuring of the Porsche sports car maker. Porsche
had gained so much experience and knowledge from mastering a major
crisis that it decided to make this expertise available to other

initial team. Their small office in Zuffenhausen became a worldwide
consultancy —with sites in Stuttgart, Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Milan, Paris,
São Paulo, Atlanta, Palo Alto,
Beijing and Shanghai. Now with over 700 employees,
many of whom are engineers and economists, Porsche Consulting
continues to apply proven solutions from the automotive industry to
other sectors, including aviation. It helps its clients put
strategies into practice. Along with its original emphasis on lean
transformation, it focuses increasingly on digitalization.
