Roding Mobility

What Roding Mobility does

Roding Mobility GmbH is a privately held German engineering and manufacturing firm founded in 2008 by Günther Riedl and Ferdinand Heindlmeier, both engineers from the Technical University of Munich. The company operates as an integrated system provider and one-stop-shop for low-volume electric mobility solutions, serving automotive OEMs, motorsport teams, aerospace manufacturers, and maritime operators. It targets clients that require rapid development of prototypes, technology demonstrators, and small-series vehicles (Lxe, N1, and M1 classes) that traditional Tier-1 suppliers and OEMs are not structured to serve economically.

The company's core technology stack spans three interlocking domains: advanced fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP and GFRP) for lightweight structures; high-voltage powertrain and battery systems from 48V micro-mobility units to 800V automotive traction packs exceeding 100 kWh and 1,000 kW output, including maritime storage above 1 MWh; and in-house ISO 26262-compliant software for Vehicle Control Units and Battery Management Systems developed on Matlab/Simulink or Codesys. These capabilities are anchored by the proprietary RODING Lightweight EV Platform, a modular monocoque/frame architecture with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive options. Additional capabilities include proprietary E/E architecture, CATIA-based cable harness design, and metal/plastic 3D printing.

Roding generates revenue through project-based professional services and hardware sales. Engagements are typically large, custom quotation-based development contracts, with delivery of full prototype vehicles claimed in approximately 12 months from project kickoff. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales led by a small sales team (including a Global Sales Manager) targeting boutique and niche OEMs such as Wiesmann, Sono Motors, ACM, Ellegend, and Simia. The company maintains strategic alliances with SK TECHNOLOGY (manufacturing expertise in CFRP and high-voltage systems) and IXENT (non-linear crash and failure simulation for composites). Pricing is opaque and bespoke, with no published rates, and there are no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures.

Core offering

Roding Mobility develops and produces fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP/GFRP) components, custom high-voltage battery systems from 48V to 800V (up to 1 MWh maritime storage), and complete street-legal vehicle prototypes through small-series production in Lxe, N1, and M1 vehicle classes. The company acts as a one-stop-shop system provider and general contractor for the automotive, motorsport, aerospace, and maritime sectors, delivering full-vehicle development from initial customer ideas to ready-to-drive prototypes in approximately 12 months. Its proprietary RODING Lightweight EV Platform combines monocoque/frame structures with high-voltage powertrains up to 1,000 kW.

Product overview

RODING Mobility is an internationally active system provider and one-stop shop offering integrated mobility solutions. The company operates four interconnected business divisions: Advanced Composites (CFRP/GFRP component development and production), Powertrain & Battery Systems (high-voltage systems from 48V to 800V, battery storage up to 1 MWh, and VCU/BMS software), Mobility Prototypes (complete vehicle development and production from Lxe to M1 classes), and Small-Series EV Platforms (the proprietary RODING Lightweight EV Platform for electrified sports cars). The portfolio also includes E/E architecture services and strategic simulation partnerships. Founded in 2008 based on the RODING Roadster sports car development, the company now serves automotive, aerospace, motorsport, and maritime sectors.
