Delivering cheaper, more efficient, and compact electric vehicle motors through patented Dual Rotor technology.
B2B, Electric Vehicle manufacturers
- Up-front licensing & development fees - for OEMs that adopt the Dual-Rotor design in their own platforms
Direct sales & engineering partnerships - joint-development contracts with OEM R&D departments · Industry exhibitions & trade shows - IAA Mobility, CES, and specialized EV conferences (e.g., 2025 IAA premiere) used to showcase prototypes · Digital presence - corporate website, YouTube channel with demo videos, and LinkedIn posts that highlight tech
Automotive OEMs - co-development partners (BMW, Volkswagen group, Continental) · Component suppliers - steel mills, copper wire manufacturers, and magnet producers for low-cost material sourcing · Testing labs & certification bodies - TÜV, DEKRA for safety and emissions compliance
R&D, manufacturing scale-up
Patented Dual Rotor, Radial-Flux technology, proprietary electric motor design
R&D, product development, scaling production of electric drives
Co-development & joint-validation - deep technical integration during prototype phases, creating high switching costs · Long-term supply contracts - volume-based pricing and guaranteed component availability for series-production partners · Technical support & training - on-site engineering assistance, software integration kits, and warranty servic
Competes with other EV motor manufacturers by offering a compact, lightweight central drive unit with higher efficiency and lower cost through unique radial-flux technology.
High cost and low efficiency of current EV motors; need for compact, lightweight drivetrain solutions.
- Launch a “Hybrid-OEM Program” - Offer a tiered licensing model (pilot, scale-up, full-production) with bundled engineering support. This
- The website’s technical sections (Technology, Central‑Drive, Generator) provide concrete performance metrics (e.g., 30 % cost advantage, 50 % fewer magnets) that substantiate the claimed value proposition【1†https://www.deepdrive.tech/media/deepdrive-presents-generator】.
- Investor backing from major automotive venture arms (BMW i Ventures, Continental CVC) validates market relevance and gives DeepDrive access to OEM decision‑makers【2†https://www.deepdrive.tech/about】.
