Ceer, Saudi Arabia’s first EV brand, has signed a partnership with Rimac Technology for the supply of high-performance, electric drive systems (EDS) for its upcoming flagship range of EVs.
This collaboration with Ceer hints at the evolution of the Rimac Technology business from limited-volume, high-performance bespoke applications and hypercars – such as the Nevera, Pininfarina Battista, Aston Martin Valkyrie and Koenigsegg Regera – to large-scale mass-produced projects.
Rimac Technology also announced a long-term collaboration with the BMW Group earlier this year to supply high-voltage battery systems to its passenger cars and has signed other agreements with European OEM projects. The Ceer partnership is Rimac’s first in the GCC, representing another scaling up of Rimac products, focused on its electric powertrain systems and software portfolio.
“We are delighted to be the first company and large-scale project in the GCC to partner with Rimac Technology in order to equip Ceer flagship vehicles with the most advanced high-performance electric drive systems and solutions,” said Ceer CEO James DeLuca.
Mate Rimac, founder of the Rimac Group, added, “This year alone we’ve announced several key partnerships, including with the BMW Group and Ceer, which will result in the production of tens of thousands of electric drive systems and battery systems for leading OEMs worldwide. With more exciting projects in the pipeline, we’ve strategically invested in our production facilities in Croatia, including the Rimac Campus and supporting infrastructure, which will soon be operating at full capacity.”
The two partners will reveal more specifics about the partnership and its scope later.
