Elaphe Propulsion Technologies

Elaphe Propulsion Technologies was founded in 2006 by Andrej Detela and Gorazd Lampič and specialises in in-wheel electric motors for electric vehicles. The company's plug-and-play Elaphe M700 system places the drive motor directly inside the wheel hub, eliminating traditional axles and drivetrains to improve vehicle efficiency and design freedom. Elaphe received €7 million from the Slovenian government in 2021 and has supplied its technology to automotive partners globally, including Aptera. It is headquartered at Technology Park Ljubljana.
