Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Bosch: World's largest automotive supplier with broad portfolio spanning battery systems, e-axles, ECUs, and software. Bosch is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Rimac Technology across nearly every product line, but offers these as part of a much wider mobility portfolio rather than specializing in EV performance components.
• CATL: World's largest EV battery manufacturer with cell-to-pack technology and integrated BMS offerings. CATL is a broad incumbent competing with Rimac Technology on automotive battery cost and scale, though Rimac's differentiator is premium/high-performance positioning versus CATL's volume-mass-market focus.
• Continental: Diversified automotive supplier with significant presence in ECUs, power electronics, BMS, and high-voltage components. Continental overlaps with Rimac Technology in automotive electronics and EV control systems but operates as a much broader tier 1 across multiple automotive domains.
• LG Energy Solution: One of the world's largest EV battery manufacturers, supplying cells and packs to global OEMs. LG Energy Solution overlaps with Rimac Technology primarily in automotive battery systems as a high-volume incumbent, but does not offer integrated e-axles, ECUs, or the software stack Rimac provides.
• Magna International: Global Tier 1 supplier with e-drive systems, battery enclosures, and complete EV manufacturing capabilities. Magna is a broad incumbent offering overlapping EV component solutions as part of a wider portfolio including vehicle contract manufacturing, similar in scope to Rimac Technology's full-stack approach but at significantly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Samsung SDI: Major battery cell and pack manufacturer supplying automotive OEMs including BMW. Samsung SDI is a direct peer of Rimac Technology in automotive battery systems, with comparable OEM customer base and overlap in cylindrical cell formats, though at substantially greater manufacturing scale.
• Vitesco Technologies: Pure-play EV powertrain and electronics supplier spun out of Continental, specializing in e-axles, inverters, BMS, and 800V components. Vitesco is a close direct peer of Rimac Technology in electrified drivetrains, with similar target OEMs and a comparable focus on high-voltage power electronics.
• BorgWarner: Major Tier 1 supplier of e-axles, power electronics, and battery systems for EVs, including the HVH-series motors and integrated drive modules. BorgWarner directly competes with Rimac Technology in scalable electric propulsion solutions for global OEMs, particularly in volume passenger and commercial vehicle programs.
• ZF Friedrichshafen: Global Tier 1 supplier of electric driveline technology including e-axles, power electronics, and 800V systems. ZF directly competes with Rimac Technology in scalable EV powertrains for premium and volume OEMs, with comparable Tier 1 positioning and OEM customer overlap.

Emerging players

• Valeo: French Tier 1 supplier with growing presence in EV powertrains including e-axles, power electronics, and thermal management. Valeo has partial overlap with Rimac Technology's product portfolio and is a relevant comparator in the European Tier 1 EV component space, though it operates at a more incremental pace of EV transformation.
