So I was just thinking this morning that the Karma really is a collection of many other companies' products and tech, engineered/integrated and packaged by Fisker (assembled by Valmet!). Perusing through various internet posts, Fisker press releases and magazine/reviewer coverage, I thought it might be useful to list what components come from where/who. Here's my first cut, curious if I've missed anything:

NOTE: Edited to reflect comments in subsequent posts

Powertrain
Range extender - engine: General Motors (2.0L 4-cyclinder Ecotec); to be replaced in Gen II with BMW's N40 4-cyl
Range extender - generator: Unknown
Battery: A123 20.1kwh li-ion battery comprised of 315 prismatic cells (perhaps to be replaced with A123's new battery EXT chem which would require no cooling systems); originally EnerDel and Advanced Lithium of Canada were considered
Solar panel roof: Asola
Electric motors: Jing-Jin Electric (formerly they had tested/used UQM motors)
Inverters: Magna E-Cars (to confirm)
Brakes: Regenerative units from TRW and friction brakes from Brembo
Tires: Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar custom tires (285/35/R22 rear and 255/35/R22 front)
Fusebox Relays: Ford
Transmission: Unknown (Mexico?)
Low temp cooling fan: Air International Inc of Auburn Hills, Michigan (original)

Other
Aluminum spaceframe: Norsk Hydro
Seats/interior trim: Magna International
Interior leather: Bridge of Weir
Steering wheel/mirror switches: General Motors
Start button: Toyota
Command Center: Visteon
Sound system: Visteon
Headlights: Visteon

Final assembly: Valmet (Finland)

Have I missed anything?

Well, the generator is just another electric motor made by Jing-Jin, the only difference being its max. output of 175Kw.

Inverters are made by Magna E-Cars, atleast I remember seeing such name on an inverter.

Ive always wondered what are the regenerative units you listed, the regen is done by the 2 traction motors?

Not sure regarding the regen - saw it listed as a supplier by Fisker in their "Made in America" press release.

The transmission comes from Mexico, but I don't know which company is the manufacturer.

Some of the relays in the fuse panel are Ford

So who makes those cooling fans?

If you get this thread going along far enough perhaps you guys can make a graphic like this one for the Volt.

That is a cool graphic!

Better question would be who makes the new

 

[DHarris]

Every car company sources materials from other companies. Fisker Automotive designed and built the entire drivetrain and the systems that manage it.

"The cooling fans are manufactured by Air International Inc of Auburn Hills, Michigan." per

Does anbody know, who makes the TPMS sensors (tire pressure)?

Thanks

I wonder if it matters. When I got a new tire on my Volt a while back Discount Tire told me it is their standard practice to replace them as well no charge. I didn't realize they were so "generic". They replace it and I have not had any problems.
