pepper motion is developing a new battery system at its R&D centre in Paderborn, Germany.

The Vienna-based subsidiary, led by Manfred Heidegger and Andreas Hager, will take over coordination of software development for pepper motion.

Bus and truck retrofitting and solutions firm e-troFit, based in Denkendorf, has announced a rebrand to pepper motion. The name change is intended to more accurately reflect the company’s expansion of its product and solution portfolio which is open to other new technologies beyond electrification.
