AVID About
Saving the Planet
AVID is a leader in the design and manufacture of electrified powertrain components and systems for heavy-duty and high-performance electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles (HEV). Our core competencies are the design, validation, and manufacture of high-performance electric motors, power electronics, and thermofluids integration.
AVID manufactures a range of electrified powertrain components including electric pumps and fans, battery systems, traction motors and power electronics used in electric and hybrid vehicles.
We also have full systems integration and control expertise allowing AVID to rapidly develop complete EV, PHEV, and MHEV powertrain solutions.
The core pillars of the AVID business are Innovation, Agility, Quality and our great team.
It is a fact that climate change, urban air quality and the rising cost of energy are major issues of our time. The energy consumption and exhaust emissions from vehicles are major contributors to these issues. AVID’s vision is a future where the air is safe to breathe and transport is more sustainable.
Our mission is to help deliver this vision of a cleaner, greener future by enabling smart powertrain electrification with our high-efficiency electric motor and power electronics technology and delivering class-leading electrified powertrain and propulsion systems.
Our customers include most of the prominent global vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers.
