VISEDO Oy
-The company's core capabilities are in the development of key electric traction components and the optimization of hybrid power trains. This basically comprehends the design of power trains through the integration of key components such as electric motors, energy storage and electric inverters in a way to enhance the energy efficiency from the battery to the point of energy demand. The company is essentially performing as a system integrator, which allows them to capture most of the value of the electric value supply chain, excluding the retail and post sale service of electric vehicles.
-The company holds patents on axial electric motor technology.
-The company developed originally permanent magnet electric generators and motors, then it expanded to add more components to their product portfolio over time, first adding heavy duty inverters and finally supercapacitor technology (partnership with WIMA)
- The company is backed up by relevant investors such as SEMIKRON which is in the power electronics industry.
