Since November 1, 2025, Driventic has been operating as an independent company in the commercial vehicle market, as announced earlier.
The company has debuted under the new brand identity at Busworld Europe 2025, originates from the Commercial Vehicles division of Voith Turbo and focuses on drivetrain solutions for buses and heavy-duty vehicles. Driventic employs around 1,400 people at 26 locations in 18 countries.
Driventic begins operations as independent company
Headquartered in Heidenheim, Germany, Driventic aims to pursue a strategy of sustainable growth. In the field of e-mobility, the company states it plans to expand its portfolio for buses and heavy-duty vehicles, focusing on powerful, efficient, and sustainable systems. At the same time, Driventic will maintain and develop its position in conventional drivetrain technologies such as transmissions, retarders, and components supplied to leading OEMs worldwide.
The Voith Electrical Drive System for buses, developed and offered until now by Voith’s Commercial Vehicles division, is now then part of Driventic’s portfolio. It powers over 1,000 e-buses in UK as of July 2025, as it was adopted by both domestic manufacturers Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus. Also Otokar turned to the VEDS for its e-Territo.
The company is also strengthening its service business and targeting growth in the APAC and Americas regions.
“Becoming independent marks the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for Driventic,” explains Dr. Gregor Wiche, CEO of Driventic. “We are combining the experience and market position we have built up over decades with the agility of a specialized company. This will enable us to respond even faster and more specifically to the requirements and needs of our customers. Our customers expect an experienced partner who can support the transition to e-mobility while also ensuring the reliability of conventional technologies. With Driventic, we offer both – technological leadership with a global presence and a clear commitment to quality and innovation”.
