About Us

From the 1960s to now

TOGETHER WE ELECTRIFY THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY - FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Inmotion has been providing industrial power electronics solutions and electromechanical solutions since the 1960s.

Building upon our solutions for various industrial markets, we have been increasingly focusing our effort on products for electric vehicles since the 1990's. Inmotion launched its first AC inverters for electric forklift trucks in 1996. This was a starting point for the conversion from DC to AC technology for the whole material handling market. We were uniquely placed to lead this conversion with our long experience in AC induction controls, as well as servo systems controls in other applications, including robotics and industrial appliances.

To date, we have supplied several million inverters to vehicle customers around the world. With our extensive experience in large scale production of both high and low voltage products for vehicles, spanning from golf carts and forklift trucks to city buses and construction equipment, Inmotion is the natural choice for OEMs looking for a long term supplier of power electronics.

When you head on out to the Moon, in very short order, and you get a chance to look back at the Earth, that horizon slowly curves around in upon himself, and all of sudden you are looking at something that is very strange, but yet is very, very familiar, because you are beginning to see the Earth evolve.
