Begas Motor

What Begas Motor does

Begas Motor S.L. is a Spanish engine manufacturer founded in 2015, headquartered in Ortuella, Bizkaia, with a second engineering and integration facility in San Agustín del Guadalix (Madrid) and R&D collaboration with CMT at the Universitat Politècnica de València. The company designs and produces 100% Autogas (LPG) and BioAutogas (biopropane) liquid-injection internal combustion engines for industrial vehicles in the 3.5–26 tonne range, certified to Euro VI E (on-road) and Stage V (off-road) emissions standards. Its product portfolio centers on the B430 LG series for light commercial vehicles (110–140 CV), the AVG EVO 3 series for heavy vehicles (250–320 CV), and the upcoming B660 LG plus new 6L/9L BioAutogas engines, all featuring a proprietary in-house ECU and a 4-way catalyst that eliminates the need for AdBlue or diesel particulate filters. Beyond engine sales to OEMs and the aftermarket, the company generates revenue through a full remotorization (retrofit) service that converts diesel fleet vehicles to Autogas/BioAutogas powertrains (including technical feasibility, integration, calibration, homologation, and after-sales support), a non-intrusive diesel-dual-fuel hybridization service enabling DGT ECO label acquisition, port machinery remanufacturing (10-year agreement with Revenant for 2,000 machines), and extended warranty offerings.

Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: BeGas engages enterprise fleet operators, municipal authorities, public transport companies, and industrial vehicle OEMs directly through field sales, OEM partnerships (notably Nexio in the US), and joint marketing with energy major Cepsa. Active presence at industry trade shows (IAA Transportation 2024 in Hannover, the III Congreso Nacional de Pymes del Transporte in Irún) and membership in Liquid Gas Europe support category leadership and regulatory positioning. The company employs over 60 professionals distributed across its three Spanish sites, has raised approximately €24.2 million across three funding rounds (€5.2M in 2020, ~€1M in 2024, €18M in 2025), and is pursuing a 2025-2028 Strategic Plan targeting a tripling of business volume and a 50% workforce increase.

Core offering

Begas Motor designs, manufactures, and sells 100% Autogas/BioAutogas liquid-injection internal combustion engines for industrial vehicles from 3.5 to 26 tonnes, compliant with Euro VI E and Stage V emissions standards. The company also provides engine remotorization/retrofit services that replace diesel engines in existing fleet vehicles with its LPG/biopropane engines, plus a non-intrusive diesel dual-fuel gas hybridization service for trucks and buses.

Product overview

BeGas Motor is a Spanish technology company that manufactures 100% Autogas/BioAutogas liquid injection engines for industrial vehicles. The product portfolio centers on three engine product lines: the B430 LG series for light commercial vehicles (3.5-5 tonnes, 110-140 CV), the AVG EVO 3 series for heavy vehicles (12-26 tonnes, 250-320 CV), and the upcoming B660 LG and 6L/9L engines for heavy-duty applications. These engines are offered alongside two service offerings: a comprehensive Retrofit/remotorización service for replacing diesel engines in existing fleets, and a Gas Hybridization/Diesel Dual Fuel service for fleets seeking incremental emission reductions. The company operates from two locations in Spain—Ortuella, Bizkaia (assembly plant) and San Agustín del Guadalix, Madrid (integration and prototypes)—with R&D activities conducted in partnership with the CMT research center.

Direct peers

• FPT Industrial: CNH Industrial's powertrain division manufacturing diesel, CNG, LNG, and hydrogen engines for commercial vehicles and buses — directly overlapping with BeGas's heavy-vehicle alternative-fuel engine portfolio. Also a current BeGas powertrain supplier, making it both a competitor and channel partner.
• IVECO: European commercial vehicle OEM offering natural gas (CNG/LNG) Daily, Eurocargo, and S-Way trucks plus BEV variants. Directly competes with BeGas in urban delivery, bus, and municipal segments and is a target partner for OEM engine integration.
• Scania: Major European truck and bus OEM with a long-standing biogas/CNG/LNG engine portfolio and active trials of hydrogen combustion. Competes with BeGas for heavy-duty urban and regional fleet customers pursuing low-emission, non-BEV powertrains.
• Volvo Trucks: Global heavy truck manufacturer offering LNG/CNG variants (Volvo FH, FM, FE) for regional and urban haulage. Competes with BeGas for fleet decarbonization mandates while also developing BEV and fuel-cell lines.
• Westport Fuel Systems: Canadian Tier-1 supplier of LPG/CNG/LNG/H2 fuel systems and engine technologies for commercial vehicles. Closest technology analog to BeGas with global OEM partnerships, serving the same alternative-fuel heavy-duty niche.
• Landi Renzo: Italian specialist in LPG and CNG fuel systems and vehicle conversions, with significant European aftermarket presence. Comparable in its focus on Autogas propulsion for road vehicles, though more conversion-led than OEM engine manufacturing.
• MAN Truck & Bus: German commercial vehicle OEM offering CNG/LNG trucks and buses (e.g., MAN TGL/TGM CNG, Lion's City CNG) targeting urban and municipal fleets — directly overlapping with BeGas's core municipal and transit customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Cummins: Global incumbent engine manufacturer with a broad portfolio including natural gas and hydrogen ICE variants (L-series, B6.7N, X15N). Operates across multiple end markets well beyond BeGas's heavy-vehicle LPG niche but competes for the same fleet decarbonization budgets.
• Daimler Truck: Global commercial vehicle group (Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner, Fuso) with established CNG variants (Mercedes Atego, Econic NGT) and a major BEV/hydrogen roadmap. Competes for municipal, transit, and logistics fleet accounts in the same European geographies.

Emerging players

• Quantron: German zero-emission commercial vehicle specialist with CNG, biogas, hydrogen ICE, and BEV platforms. Smaller and earlier-stage than incumbents but directly comparable in its positioning around alternative-fuel heavy vehicles and retrofit programs.
