EV Conversions

Give a suitable vehicle a new electric chapter. A circular-engineering approach brings powertrain, battery, charging and controls together around the body you retain, the work it does and its remaining service life.

Lifecycle considerations

Your project, in context

Start with your use case.

Explore practical applications, then see how we assess and develop your project.

Your daily vehicle

Start with the vehicle condition, regular journeys and where it could charge.

A working fleet

Compare vehicle categories, route patterns, loads and operational needs before defining scope.

Development and demonstrators

Bring the intended configuration, integration questions and evidence needed for the next review.

Electric possibilities

Vehicle conversion applications.

Assess each vehicle against its route, load and operating needs.

Bikes & Three-Wheelers

Mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and passenger or cargo trikes. From individual journeys to neighbourhood deliveries, plan the conversion around the rider, load and daily route.

Passenger Cars

Microcars, city cars, compact hatchbacks and sedans for private travel, family life and taxi work. Start with the vehicle condition, the journeys it needs to cover and your project budget.

SUVs & Pickups

Crossovers, SUVs and single- or double-cab pickups for family journeys, practical loads and access to working sites. Body style and driven wheels are assessed separately; an SUV or pickup is not automatically four-wheel drive.

Journey

Load
Occupants, load-bed use and towing requirements

Vehicles shown illustrate conversion possibilities. Vehicle condition, packaging, mass limits and applicable approval requirements determine the scope. Tell us about your vehicle, daily tasks and operating conditions.

Engineering Scope

  • Vehicle assessment and electric powertrain design
  • 48 V, 144 V and 400 V nominal system options, selected around required power, duty cycle, battery sizing, electrical protection, cooling and vehicle integration
  • Battery selection, packaging and mounting design
  • Thermal management and battery communications
  • Power distribution, cooling and charging integration
  • Vehicle control software and dashboard integration
  • Project-specific safety requirements and test planning

Design Priorities

  • Drive response matched to the intended use
  • Range targets based on route, load and charging access
  • Operating-cost comparisons using your duty cycle
  • Battery operating limits and thermal protection
  • Service access and clear system documentation
  • Defined acceptance criteria before road use

Project Fit

  • Owners assessing a custom or classic conversion
  • Fleets assessing suitable vehicles and routes
  • Organisations planning transport electrification
  • Vehicle development and demonstrator projects
  • Projects needing an integrated engineering approach

How It Works

Vehicle Assessment

Start with the vehicle's condition, available space, payload and daily use. These define feasibility, range targets and the proposed scope.

Powertrain Integration

Develop the motor, battery, mounting, wiring and control interfaces as one system, with compatibility checked before installation.

Verification Planning

Define the electrical, mechanical and control checks for the selected configuration, including the evidence needed before commissioning.

Commissioning & Handover

Agree the commissioning and road-use requirements, documentation and support scope. Testing follows the approved plan and applicable permissions.

Start with your vehicle.

Share the make, model, condition and daily journey. We can start with a focused assessment of the conversion scope.
