Thank You, Our Founding CEO<\/span> Gorazd Lampi\u010d<\/h1>\n

After more than two decades shaping the future of in-wheel propulsion, Gorazd Lampi\u010d is transitioning from CEO to a new role on Elaphe\u2019s Advisory Board.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the very beginning, Gorazd brought together the right minds, matched vision with persistence, and helped transform what many thought impossible\u2014in-wheel motors in real vehicles\u2014into industrial reality.<\/p>\n

His journey started alongside visionary physicist Andrej Detela, whose breakthrough concepts Gorazd translated into viable technology, combining physics, software, and deep entrepreneurial drive. That foundation remains at the heart of everything we build today.<\/p>\n

We also want to recognize the early team members Gorazd credited\u2014Gorazd Gotovac, Matej Bi\u010dek, Bla\u017e \u0160tefe, Jurij Kern, Jernej Herman, Luka Ambro\u017ei\u010d, Toma\u017e Motaln, and Ga\u0161per \u0160u\u0161ter\u0161i\u010d\u2014for their pioneering spirit and unmatched dedication.<\/p>\n

With Gorazd\u2019s continued guidance on the Advisory Board, and our growing leadership team, Elaphe is well-positioned for the next phase\u2014delivering full vehicle-level benefits of in-wheel motors through high-speed control.<\/p>\n

Gorazd, thank you for your leadership, your belief in the impossible, and for building the path we now follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
