SEG Automotive has completed the rapid development of a high voltage electric motor prototype at its Hosur facility in Tamil Nadu, India. Developed in just three months, the prototype has passed all mandatory validation tests and fulfilled customer performance specifications. The achievement highlights the growing role of SEG Automotive’s Indian engineering operations in the company’s global electrification strategy.
The prototype project was part of a broader expansion of SEG Automotive’s capabilities at Hosur. The site now consolidates its entire electrification portfolio, covering systems for two- and three-wheelers and high-voltage drives for passenger and commercial vehicles. A new stator winding machine has been installed to strengthen local manufacturing.
India has emerged as a strategic hub for SEG Automotive’s end-to-end electrification efforts, encompassing design, prototyping, and production. An ongoing initiative includes preparing proof-of-concept samples for a high-voltage electric bus application in collaboration with a customer.
Over the past year, SEG Automotive’s India team has developed and deployed scalable high-voltage solutions across multiple vehicle segments. The team employs advanced electromagnetic simulations to improve performance and efficiency. In addition to standalone components, the Hosur facility also delivers integrated 3-in-1 systems, combining e-machine, electronics, and software.
SEG Automotive India has served as the company’s global center of competence for Light Electric Mobility (LEM) since 2019. Its product range includes hub motors (1–7 kW peak, HEM Series), mid-mount motors (2–10 kW peak, LEM Series), and controllers for e-bikes, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and small four-wheelers.
Headquartered in Germany, SEG Automotive supplies starter motors, alternators, and e-mobility systems to global automotive OEMs. Its Indian operations continue to grow in importance, particularly in the development of high-voltage and light electric vehicle platforms.
