I have also a question of understanding:
A normal mech can move one hex.
With speed upgrade it can move two hexes.
With factory card it can also move two hexes.
With speed upgrade AND factory card, it can move three hexes.
The combination of speed and factory indicates, that the factory card does not provide a doubling of the move but merely a +1. If it would allow doubling the move action, a speed mech with factory card would be able to move 4 hexes. As we know, this is not the case.
Why does the factory card double the movement for a Fenris Leap mech? Why is it not a "usual" increase to three hexes?

I think you're a little reversed in your thinking... the SPEED ability allows +1, NOT the factory card. To avoid confusion, think about it this way: Select your move action first, whether it be a single-hex move from the player mat or a two-hex move from the factory card... THEN apply the speed ability AFTERWARD as +1 to the original movement. In any case, Fenris doesn't have the SPEED ability nor are there any SPEED mech mods if I remember correctly.
