Leading provider of cutting-edge electric powertrain solutions for e-mobility - IRP Systems announced that it has signed a strategic agreement with Bosch for the industrialisation and serial manufacturing of IRP's personal mobility electric motor controllers.
Accordingly, the partnership will bring together Bosch's automotive manufacturing capabilities and IRP's innovative e-powertrain technology to deliver quality, robust and affordable controllers for a variety of personal mobility OEMs in Europe and worldwide.
Electric personal mobility vehicles (scooters, motorcycles, 3-wheelers and quadricycles) have become a dominant solution for comfortable, environment-friendly urban mobility. Their proliferation in major cities worldwide is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. Therefore, high-quality powertrain solutions are key to the accelerated adoption of personal mobility, the company said.
Leveraging unique control algorithms and electronics design, IRP's TrueDrive Dynamic controllers offer an outstanding 'in-control' driving experience, superior performance, reliability and efficiency, advanced functionality, and extensive customisation options.
Bosch integrates all the industrial constraints of manufacturing and testing right from the design stages by offering a DfX (Design for eXcellence) service. The industrialisation and manufacturing of IRP's products will be led by Bosch Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) business unit headquarters in Mondeville, France, the company said.
Moran Price, Co-founder and CEO, IRP Systems, said, 'This collaboration will help IRP to serve our European customers much better, with local manufacturing and superior supply safety. It will also enable us to significantly enhance our delivery capacity in order to accommodate the growing demand in our products worldwide.'
Claude Alemany, Head - Bosch EMS and General Manager, Mondeville Plant, said the collaboration, spearheaded by the Bosch Israel team, enables the company to take part in complementary e-mobility markets and strengthen its position as a key player in the electronic manufacturing sector.
Tal Dekel, Open Innovation Manager, Robert Bosch Technologies Israel, said, 'The value proposition of Bosch EMS for the Israeli ecosystem is substantive. Making Bosch' design and manufacturing capabilities, as well as our logistics competences available to companies that are in growth will allow them the secure delivery of high-end innovative products.'
