01Purpose and mission

Our mission.

Our mission is to be the world’s pre-eminent aftermarket electrification solutions partner of choice for utility vehicle fleet owners and to ultimately deliver the benefits of the “internet of electricity” to them.

We are steadfast in our commitment to help our customers achieve operational efficiencies and deliver on their decarbonisation goals. Furthermore, we are continuing to innovate year on year, driving incremental improvement with regard to increased range, reduced weight, improved safety and ergonomic features, whilst being cost competitive.

02Values

What we stand by.

01 / 05

Safety

High-voltage systems, mine sites, city streets. Every vehicle we build or convert is engineered to protect the people in it and around it.

02 / 05

Reliability

Fleets earn when they move. We build for the full shift, every shift, through heat, dust and gradient.

03 / 05

Efficiency

More work per kWh, fewer parts to service, lower cost per kilometre. That is how electrification pays for itself.

04 / 05

Tenacity

Remote sites and hard-to-decarbonise industries are where we choose to work. We stay with the problem until the fleet runs.

05 / 05

Humility

From mine operators to the jeepney builders of the Philippines, our partners know their craft. We respect that legacy and build on it.

03Our story

A history spanning the globe.

  1. 1969

    Founded in Eindhoven

    We were founded in 1969 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, a city renowned for engineering, innovation and creativity, the home of DAF Trucks, Philips Electrical Systems and many technology start-ups.

  2. 2015

    First 4x4 conversion

    In 2015 we launched our first 4x4 electric vehicle conversion using the LandCruiser as a prototype. We subsequently focussed on delivering converted LandCruisers to the mining sector.

  3. 2020

    Acquired by VivoPower

    In 2020, we were acquired by VivoPower, a NASDAQ-listed sustainable energy group. We secured new partners and customers, expanded out of Eindhoven into markets in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and North America, and moved beyond mining to defence, safaris, infrastructure and agriculture.

  4. 2023

    A diversified supply chain

    In response to stubborn supply chain and inflation issues across the EU region, we diversified our supply chain to encompass trusted and experienced partners across Asia, including in China, the Philippines and Thailand.

  5. 2025

    Tusker and the jeepney

    We expanded our suite of products and solutions to encompass a Tembo OEM fully electric utility vehicle called the Tusker, and entered the public utility vehicle (PUV) market in the Philippines, with a partnership to electrify the iconic jeepneys.

  6. Next
