Key Innovations Electric Mobility

GEM Motors develops compact and efficient fully integrated in-wheel drive systems, achieving up to 92 percent system efficiency while reducing transmission losses and enabling highly modular vehicle platforms. These technologies are redefining how electric and autonomous vehicles are conceived and manufactured.

Electric mobility is no longer reserved for passenger cars. It is increasingly being implemented in last-mile delivery vehicles, microcars, autonomous mobile robots, and agricultural or industrial machines. These developments indicate a fundamental change in how we understand and design mobility solutions. Below, we outline four key trends that are shaping the future of e-mobility.

1. Electrification of Last-Mile Delivery

Urban logistics is undergoing rapid electrification, driven by the need to reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and comply with environmental regulations. Small electric delivery vehicles are especially suited to dense urban environments with frequent start-stop operation, which allows for optimal use of regenerative braking systems. In-wheel motors support this trend with higher efficiency and enable more flexible vehicle architecture by reducing the need for bulky mechanical components. For fleet operators, the resulting gains in space, maintenance simplicity, and reliability are becoming increasingly decisive.

Typical applications: Kleuster, CityQ

2. Urban Micromobility and Personal Electric Transport

As urban populations grow and traffic congestion intensifies, demand is rising for compact, efficient personal transport solutions such as electric scooters, bikes, motorcycles, trikes and microcars. These vehicles require propulsion systems that deliver performance in a lightweight, space-constrained environment. Integrated wheel drives as best space optimized drive solution meet this requirement by simplifying drivetrain design, lowering system weight, and supporting modular development. This enables faster time-to-market and adaptability across diverse vehicle formats.

Typical applications: Avatar mobilite, Ateliers HeritageBike, Hopper Mobility

3. Autonomous Robots and Vehicles for Logistics and Services

Autonomous mobile systems are gaining ground in sectors where operational efficiency, safety, and uptime are critical. These include industry logistics, security surveillance, facility maintenance, and last-mile delivery. In-wheel electric motors equipped with embedded sensors and onboard online diagnostics enable precise control of each wheel, increase maneuverability, and reduce the need for additional mechanical components. When combined with remote connectivity and cloud-based monitoring, these drives support the development of scalable, autonomous robotic platforms.

Typical applications: Clevon, Roboxi

4. Robotic Mobility in Agriculture and Industry

The electrification of agriculture and industrial automation is advancing rapidly. Autonomous agricultural robots used for seeding, spraying, or harvesting, and industrial AGVs for internal logistics require propulsion systems that are robust, resistant to harsh environments, and maintenance-efficient. GEM’s integrated wheel drives provide high torque density, mechanical simplicity, and modular integration options, helping developers reduce development time and improve the reliability of their end applications.

Typical applications: RTC, Generation Robots

E-Mobility as the Foundation of Future Transport Systems

These trends highlight a clear trajectory. E-mobility is no longer an isolated technological development; it is a systemic shift shaping the infrastructure of cities, supply chains, and production systems. Electric drive systems are becoming essential to achieving sustainability, operational efficiency, and technological differentiation.
