The Poclain Group is a world leader in designing and manufacturing hydrostatic and electrohydraulic transmissions. The company has just announced that it acquired a controlling stake in MOTEG, a German company specialising in designing and making electric motors, on January 31, 2024.
This strategic acquisition represents an important milestone in Poclain’s ENGAGE 2025 roadmap kick-started by the group in 2020. With MOTEG now embedded in Poclain’s ecosystem, the group will cement its technological capacity for designing and manufacturing the electro-mobility solutions of the future as the company responds to the major environmental issues of the day.
Poclain is now in a strong position following its 2022 acquisition of EMSISO, a specialist in inverters (electric motor controllers), and the launch of its first electro-hydraulic hybrid solutions. The group holds all the trump cards for stepping up the transition of the off-road vehicle transmission market towards 100% electric through dedicated, leading-edge offers.
MOTEG, founded in 2014 in Flensburg, Germany, is recognised as a leading company in electric motors and high-performance products designed for use in buses, lorries and other off-road applications.
