(Winterthur) Designwerk Technologies AG concludes the year 2023 with impressive successes. Customers have covered a total of 5,778,509 kilometers with Designwerk’s electric commercial vehicles last year, resulting in a total performance of 10,650,126 kilometers. In a continuously growing market, Designwerk solidifies its position as a leading provider of the complete electric mobility system in the commercial vehicle sector. Designwerk’s portfolio includes fast charging solutions, high-voltage storage solutions, and electric trucks. Designwerk has been able to continue its growth. Compared to 2022, the e-mobility specialist sold 51 percent more electric trucks and 24 percent more mobile chargers.
230 Employees at Five Locations
The company now employs 230 people at five locations. The technological achievements also reached new heights in 2023. In the field of electric trucks, Designwerk expanded its position as a pioneer in electric mobility last year with battery capacities of up to 1000 kWh and numerous newly electrified commercial vehicles for special applications. At the same time, the Winterthur-based company launched a new compact mobile fast charger with 88 kW charging power and 920 volts for flexible use. For much more demanding charging situations, Designwerk presented a battery-buffered Mega Charger at the end of the year, which in the future can charge several heavy commercial vehicles simultaneously with a charging power of up to two megawatts.
Expansion Following Successful Annual Report 2023
To meet the growing demand, Designwerk is expanding its sales structures in Germany and welcomes four experienced sales specialists in the field of heavy commercial vehicles to its team. The first to join was Joachim Schürmann at the end of 2023 as the new Key Account Manager for the Europe North region. In early January, Jannik Winzer and Ewald Weinhold followed. Together, they form a strong sales team under the leadership of Fabian Bahlmann, who is also a newly appointed Sales Director for E-Trucks Europe North. Bahlmann, who has international leadership experience in the commercial vehicle industry, emphasizes: “I look forward to working and exchanging ideas with our partners, existing and new customers, and everyone who wants to drive the transformation to electric mobility.”
Enhanced Competitiveness
Designwerk thus builds on the expansion of the previous year in Benelux and Scandinavia. The electric specialist is enhancing its competitiveness and positioning itself as an expert, especially in the field of custom solutions. With the expansion in Germany, Designwerk is responding to the evolving market and numerous customer inquiries. “Regardless of political decisions, we see a very solid growth potential in our role as a specialist for individual solutions in the German market. We are convinced that we can better meet the demand of our customers and strengthen our market share in the niche, regardless of ongoing discussions about the existence of funding programs. The pressure for zero-emission vehicles is increasing – and we are prepared for that,” summarizes Thomas Rücker, Director Sales and After Sales.
