Tackling climate change through rapid EV adoption

The Ingear 2-speed transmission accelerates clean mobility adoption by making EVs more affordable.

Personal transportation is one of the largest sources of GHG emissions, and accounts for 25–30% of the global total. By accelerating the consumer shift to clean passenger vehicles, we can more rapidly eliminate a major source of emissions.

More consumers will choose EVs when they are more affordable, but still offer great performance and comparable range. Ingear enables more efficient powertrains that significantly reduce puchase and operating costs for the next generation of EVs.

The Ingear 2-speed transmission is as mechanically efficient as a simple, single-speed powertrain.

An Ingear-enabled EV has both city and highway gearing that uses 7–15% less energy than a conventional EV to travel a given distance.

Better efficiency allows for less battery and a simpler, smaller motor, resulting in an EV that is $1,500 less expensive to produce, purchase and operate. An Ingear may cost the OEM as little as $150, while saving more than $1,650 of battery, inverter and motor costs.

Ingear-enabled EVs have longer range. The reduction in energy required to move the vehicle means that it can travel further with the same battery capacity.

Single-speed transmissions are a compromise between efficiency and performance. With two gears, an Ingear powertrain can maximize for both city and highway use. Acceleration and top speed can be improved by over 15%.

An Ingear-enabled car requires less battery and can use a smaller, simpler motor. This reduces upstream demand for mining rare earths and expensive materials.

Electrifying mobility will put major demands on our power grids. Using less energy to get from A to B ultimately lowers the amount of electricity that needs to be produced and distributed.

Inmotive has made a big step towards commercialization by signing a joint development agreement with Suzuki to develop an Ingear 2-speed EV transmission for a future Suzuki electric vehicle.

Inmotive has received confirmation from a major global OEM that its Ingear two-speed EV transmission is the world’s most efficient two-speed transmission for electric vehicles.

Inmotive is the Canadian based inventor of the Ingear, an ultra-efficient multi-speed powertrain technology for a wide range of applications. The Ingear extends electric vehicle range at very low additional cost and weight, while providing continuous torque during smooth shifts. Its highly reliable design also increases torque, acceleration, gradeability and top speed and is protected with 23 patents issued and 46 patents pending. Inmotive is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with offices in Europe and China.

Inmotive has accelerated the global evolution to affordable zero-emission mobility and played an important role in mitigating climate change.

Make Ingear the dominant multi-speed EV transmission solution by 2030.
