Company mission
To revolutionise the automotive industry by providing groundbreaking solutions that help automakers meet their efficiency and cost goals.
Our take
DeepDrive is transforming EV technology with its Dual Rotor motor, enhancing efficiency and enabling over 800km per charge. Its compact design integrates into both central and in-wheel systems, helping automakers create powerful, cost-effective electric vehicles.
Recently the company raised substantial funding, which will be used to boost production and support collaborations with eight of the ten largest car manufacturers. With the company set to launch its first series of motors by 2028, it is positioning itself to meet the growing demand for efficient electric vehicles.
As it continues to develop its technology, partnerships with major automakers like BMW position DeepDrive as a leader in electric mobility. Its innovative technology aims for profitability while reducing carbon emissions and, as it refines this tech and expands its market presence, it is poised to drive the electric vehicle revolution.
