Crudeoil24...do you have an references or links that support either of your statements? Last I read BMW went with a different company’s product.

Here are some links for you to take a look at. The first, is an older link, it says BMW was using 24 EKSO vests and 44 more were planned.(2017)

I know EKSO was testing with BMW but I believe that BMW ultimately went with the AIRFRAME Levitate vest

https://exoskeletonreport.com/product/airframe/

This link shows the AIRFRAME Levitate being used by BMW in Regensburg factory (2018)

Would appreciate if anyone can clarify if BMW is using any EKSO vests in any of BMW's plants. Or, is AIRFRAME the sole supplier? Or combination of the 2 (or more) companies? Are they still testing or have final decisions been made on who the supplier(s) are/will be?

This article seems to say that BMW decided to go with the AIRFRAME Levitate...saying this in the article:

BMW announced that the Airframe has outperformed other systems, providing workers a great deal of relief in their U.S.-based factories.
