New name for e-troFit: now it’s called pepper motion

The former e-troFit GmbH, known for its electrification technology of conventional buses and trucks, now goes by the name of pepper motion GmbH with immediate effect. “The main reason for the change of name is the continued expansion of the product and solution portfolio, which is open to all technologies, but also because of the momentum of the rapidly growing company and the associated internationalization of its business. These developments require corresponding changes to its corporate design and brand identity”, the company says.

And adds: “pepper motion as the company name is the umbrella brand of the world’s first digital OEM and embodies the company’s mission for the future of electromobility in the commercial vehicle industry. etrofit will continue to exist as a brand name in the pepper motion retrofitting business unit given its existing high level of international recognition and image as the innovation leader for electrification technology in the commercial vehicle sector”.
