Inmotive, which unveiled its Ingear transmission design more than two years ago, announced Jan. 10 that it has signed a joint development agreement with Suzuki to develop its Ingear two-speed EV transmission for a future Suzuki electric vehicle.
Electric vehicles from Suzuki could have two-speed transmissions designed by a Toronto-based engineering firm, even though the automaker has no plan to sell its vehicles in Canada and the United States.“This partnership with Suzuki exemplifies the value that the Ingear two-speed transmission can bring to electric vehicles, including cost, range, performance and efficiency improvements,” Inmotive CEO Paul Bottero said in a statement.
Inmotive, founded in 2010, does not manufacture the components but rather licenses the design to other auto manufacturers and suppliers. At the same time, Suzuki also sold its 50-per-cent share in a joint venture assembly facility in Ingersoll, Ont., to General Motors. Suzuki still sells motorcycles, ATVs and marine products here. A spokesperson for Suzuki in Japan said the company has no plans to sell cars or trucks in Canada or the United States.
