About

High-Tech.
Down to earth.

We radically yet rationally develop the core of tomorrow’s electric mobility

We are DeepDrive. We are powered by fusion. Absolute professionalism mixed up with our deeply rooted urge to discover. Deep expertise meets revolutionary innovations.

The roots of DeepDrive date back to a decade ago when most of our founders met while studying at TU Munich and participating in its student motorsport team. After graduating, their journey continued for many years at leading automotive companies, such as Bosch, Audi and Infineon.

They all came back together in 2021 to found DeepDrive in order to disrupt the electric motor. Today, we’re radically unlocking the potential of today’s technology for tomorrow’s mobility. To build best in class in-wheel and central drive solutions. With a world-class team. With highend facilities located in Munich. With clear milestones. And with strong co-drivers joining our journey.

Values & Beliefs

Electric mobility. Human made.

Radical but rational

We’re all like the two hemispheres of a brain. Pragmatic straightness mixed up with our radical approach to innovation – together enabling the biggest impact possible.
 

Professional but human

High-Tech engineering, created for the real world. By real people. Charged with real openness and real communication. Supporting each other to become better versions of ourselves every day.
 

High-Tech but down to earth

The best ideas are not simple but pure. Always reduced to the max. Never easy to find but definitely worth looking for. Or to keep it simple: more efficient, more sustainable and more possibilities.
 

Business but crew

Our vision is to create the world’s best electric drives. To achieve our goal, we have to be more than just colleagues. We need to be a pit crew embodying respect, appreciation, and trust. Seamlessly collaborating on an exhilarating race day.

It all started with a team.
