In 2003 Andrej Detela and Gorazd Lampi\u010d, longtime CEO now sitting in Advisory Board, joined forces and founded Elaphe in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2006, we have invested heavily in numerous development areas, achieving the development and validation of scalable radial-flux in-wheel electric motor design integrated into over 50 different vehicle applications. We helped co-define industry testing standards for in-wheel motors and established a dedicated cutting-edge testing facility and small-scale motor manufacturing line.<\/p>\n<p>Forged with newcomer OEMs, we commercialized our in-wheel technology with world-first homologated production vehicles in 2020. Since 2023, our focus has shifted to delivering value to legacy OEMs and developing proprietary high-speed motion control enabled by our direct-drive in-wheel motor technology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/in-wheel.com\/elaphe-name-story\/\">More about Elaphe name<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are Elaphe -
