First Mode Begins Construction of Smart Manufacturing Facility

First Mode announced the construction of the first manufacturing facility in Seattle, Washington. The 45,000-square-foot facility, located in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood, will produce zero-emission power plants and associated ground infrastructure.

This facility will be one of the largest of its kind in Seattle, and support First Mode’s nuGen™ haulage solutions, which replace diesel engines in mining haul trucks and locomotives by retrofitting existing fleets with battery and hydrogen fuel solutions.

“We’re incredibly pleased that First Mode is establishing its first manufacturing facility in Seattle,” said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. “Seattle has always been known for big, progress-driving ideas, and this announcement speaks to our continued status as a hub for innovation and being on the cutting edge of world-changing technology. We look forward to how this state-of-the-art facility helps First Mode achieve its mission of decarbonizing heavy industry, bringing clean energy jobs to our city, and building a more sustainable future for the next generation.”
