Why is Rimac Technology becoming independent?
As per Mate Rimac:
What can we expect?
The company will continue and expand its activities in “the engineering, development, production, and supply of high-performance battery systems, electric drive units, electronic systems, and user interface components.”
Yep, that’s for the brand and other OEMS.
Rimac Technology has already worked with with major automakers including Porsche, Hyundai, Kia, Automobili Pininfarina, Koenigsegg, and Aston Martin. It also hinted that there are numerous additional projects still undisclosed to the public.
Plus, the company is set to seriously step up its production capacity, aiming to manufacture “tens of thousands high-performance systems per year by 2024.” After this, it plans to ramp up these numbers to “hundreds of thousands.”
That’s a pretty ambitious goal, but I guess the planned200,000m²Rimac Campus in Zagreb will play a big role to that.
Most notably though, Rimac Technology will draw inspiration and expertise from its own Nevera hypercar, which according to Mate Rimac, isn’t just a standalone project, but also a showcase of what the company’s is capable of doing.
And, boy, is it jaw-dropping.
So, yes I can’t wait to see what kind of high-performance tech bearing the Rimac signature will be included in third-party EV brands. And this time, I really hope it’s gonna be a model that I can actually afford.
