Inmotive announced that it will move into the second phase of the joint development agreement with Suzuki to develop an IngearTM 2-speed EV transmission for future Suzuki electric vehicles. The development agreement, executed in January of 2023, was designed to determine viability and compatibility of the Ingear EV transmission with future Suzuki electric vehicles. The Ingear is the world's most efficient 2-speed transmission designed specifically for EVs, validated by Inmotive test results.

Through its compact and simple design, the Ingear can improve electric vehicle cost, range and efficiency. Additionally, an Ingear can extend EV range by up to 15% and improve acceleration by up to 15%. Its patented geometry ensures a smooth and quiet ride.

In addition to EV passenger cars, the Ingear can be built for use in a wider range of vehicles, including motorcycles, ATVs, and marine applications. Suzuki is currently exploring the potential for these applications beyond passenger cars.
