Full Performance.
Zero Emissions.
Engineering, components, and integration – for the next generation of machines.
SUNCAR AG is a Swiss technology and development company for the electrification of commercial and off-highway vehicles. The company combines deep technical knowledge with industrial implementation expertise.
We support OEMs and operators in the development of electric machines. We work where system complexity, integration, and implementation converge. The focus is on transferring concepts into functioning series applications.
We develop and integrate electric drive systems, high- and low-voltage architectures, wire harnesses, control software, as well as mechanical and thermal systems. This is complemented by our own components, such as high-voltage distribution systems and DC charging interfaces.
This integrated approach results in solutions that shorten development cycles, reduce risks, and prove themselves in real-world use. We continuously evolve existing system approaches to exploit the full potential of e-mobility.

ETH Startup
SUNCAR emerged from an ETH focus project. From the beginning, the goal was not just to research electric drive systems, but to transfer them into real-world applications.
This heritage continues to shape our way of working today: systematic engineering, sound design, and a clear focus on function in real-world use. Technologies are not developed in isolation but are considered within the context of entire machine architectures.
This creates an approach that connects research, development, and application – with the goal of creating marketable and practical solutions.
SUNCAR has received multiple awards
European Solar Prize 2015
European award for pioneering projects in the field of renewable energy and sustainable energy applications.
Watt d’Or
2020
Award from the Federal Office of Energy for outstanding projects in the field of energy efficiency and innovative energy technologies.
eMove360°
Award 2018
International prize for forward-looking solutions in the areas of electromobility, connected driving, and sustainable mobility.
SUNCAR as a Technology Partner
Development, Products, and System Integration
SUNCAR combines engineering, proprietary components, and integration know-how in a seamless approach. This results in solutions that are not just developed, but used with enthusiasm in the field.
Electrification of Entire Machines
We develop electric systems from architecture to integration into the machine – tailored to function, installation space, and application profile.
Proprietary Components and Subsystems
With high-voltage distributions, charging interfaces, monitoring, and assistance systems, we provide proven solutions that can be directly integrated.
System Integration in Practice
We combine development, products, and assemblies into functioning overall systems and accompany projects through to series application.
Thinking Like a Manufacturer
Through our own history in mechanical engineering, we understand requirements from a manufacturer’s perspective – from development and integration to production.

The full potential of electrification is revealed in real-world use. Our projects provide insight into various applications and show how systems function under specific conditions; from construction machinery and municipal vehicles to specialized applications.
Full Performance. Zero Emissions.
In the past, the logic was simple: if machines had to perform, they needed diesel. If they had to be efficient, compromises were necessary.
The industry has learned to live with this. But that is exactly what is changing now.
In short: machines work without exhaust gases – even where it was previously impossible. And suddenly, a new question arises:
What if performance and sustainability are no longer a contradiction?
This is where we come in.
Neither as a traditional engineering office nor as a mere component supplier. But as a technology partner that thinks about machines holistically – and rebuilds them.
Responsibly, from the initial system architecture through proprietary components to integration into the real machine. Not as a concept on paper, but in real-world use.
The real challenge is not the idea of electrification, but its implementation.
How do systems behave under load?
How do drive, thermal management, and software interact?
What happens in the field – instead of in the model?
The answers to these questions are not found only at a desk.
They are found on and in the machine.
SUNCAR brings exactly this experience. From numerous projects and real-world applications. And from the perspective of a manufacturer.
Because those who have built machines themselves suddenly think differently. More concretely. More responsibly. Closer to reality.
Electrification is more than just a replacement for what exists.
To ultimately create solutions that are not just cleaner – but better.
Full Performance. Zero Emissions.
Our standard for every machine created this way.
