Arquus CEO Emmanuel Levacher said that in order to meet the objectives of the “war-time economy” called for by President Emmanuel Macon, mainly to produce more equipment, faster and cheaper, “we need visibility to enable us to anticipate and would rather have a firm contract to produce one vehicle a month for 30 months than lots of small contracts.”
