Ecomotive Solutions

What Ecomotive Solutions does

Ecomotive Solutions S.r.l., founded in 2009 and headquartered in Serralunga di Crea, Italy, develops electronic engine control systems that enable diesel and gasoline engines to operate on alternative and renewable fuels including natural gas, biomethane, LNG, LPG, hydrogen, methanol, DME, and syngas. The company sits within the Holdim Group (which also owns Dimsport, Autogas Italia, GLF Turbine, and the recently acquired Rail S.r.l.) and operates an engineering/R&D site in Vezzano sul Crostolo that received dual ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 certification in March 2026, with a Turkish branch established in 2019.

Its technology platform centers on three product lines: the proprietary d-gid Diesel Dual Fuel system (electronic management of a dynamic diesel/gas mix with up to 50% diesel displacement), Bi-Fuel conversion kits for gasoline vehicles (built on shared know-how with sister company Autogas Italia), and Full Gas conversions for industrial engines running 100% on methane, biomethane, LPG, or syngas under the #greendustrial brand. The company also develops its own control unit family (Jupiter for 5/6 cylinder, Saturn for 8 cylinder, plus Mercury, Venus, and the SPECTRE LPG reducer) and offers prototyping, emissions test bench services, and system integration for OEM customers. Recent additions include H-Dual (HVO diesel + hydrogen/hydrobiomethane for heavy transport, co-developed with Ford Trucks) and DME conversion work with Technion University of Haifa.

Ecomotive monetizes through sale of conversion kits via an authorized installer network in Italy and international markets, complemented by direct OEM co-development contracts, custom prototyping, and testing services for enterprise customers in heavy transport, buses, railway (Fondazione FS Italiane), agricultural machinery (FPT Industrial, New Holland), marine (Italgas Venice service boats), and stationary power generation. Customer logos include Snam, Italgas, Cotral, Isotta Fraschini Motori, Holthausen/GreenForce, and EcorNaturaSì. The company was the first in Italy to obtain EURO 5 and EURO 6 dual-fuel homologation (2016), pricing is fully custom with no public disclosure, and go-to-market is event-driven with active participation at ACT Expo, Ecomondo, Transpotec, Hydrogen Expo, and similar international industry exhibitions.

Core offering

Ecomotive Solutions designs, manufactures and sells electronic engine control systems and conversion kits that enable diesel and gasoline engines to operate on alternative fuels including CNG, LNG, biomethane, LPG, hydrogen, methanol, DME and syngas. Its commercial portfolio covers the Diesel Dual Fuel (d-gid) platform, Bi-Fuel conversion systems, the Full Gas / #greendustrial line, the H-Dual hydrogen system, and proprietary ECUs (Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus, SPECTRE). Complementary services include OEM-tailored prototyping and micro-series development, vehicle emission and power bench testing, and system integration support for partner firms.

Product overview

Ecomotive Solutions operates in electronic engine control systems for alternative fuels and renewable energies. The product portfolio spans three main technology platforms: Diesel Dual Fuel (d-gid) for dual-fuel diesel-gas operation, Bi-Fuel for gasoline vehicle conversion to methane/LPG, and Full Gas for 100% gas engine conversions. The company offers commercial products including conversion systems, as well as prototyping, testing, and system integration services. Following the 2022 acquisition of Autogas Italia and Bigas brand, the company extended its capabilities in CNG/LPG conversions. Recent innovations include H-Dual hydrogen technology and methanol conversion systems.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Landi Renzo S.p.A. Italian public company and one of Europe's largest manufacturers of CNG, LPG, and hydrogen fuel systems for automotive. Closely comparable as a same-country alternative-fuel conversion specialist competing for fleet OEM contracts and aftermarket installer networks.
• Prins VNG B.V. Dutch-based CNG and LPG system developer with focus on European OEM partnerships and bi-fuel conversions. Comparable as a technology-led European alternative-fuel conversion company targeting both passenger car and light commercial segments.
• STECOM S.r.l. Italian alternative-fuel conversion specialist focused on industrial and heavy-duty diesel-to-gas retrofits. Directly overlapping with Ecomotive's diesel dual-fuel and full-gas positioning for industrial engines and stationary applications.
• Vialle Autogas Systems B.V. European CNG/LPG fuel system manufacturer with deep installer network across Benelux and emerging markets. Closely comparable technology-product scope (sequential injection conversion kits) and shares the alternative-fuel conversion business model.
• BRC Gas Equipment (BRC S.p.A.): Italian manufacturer of CNG and LPG sequential injection systems with global aftermarket reach. Directly competes with Ecomotive/Autogas Italia in gasoline-to-gas conversion kits and shares the Italian installer-channel model.

Broad incumbents

• Robert Bosch GmbH (Mobility Solutions): Global Tier-1 supplier of engine ECUs, fuel injection systems, and emission-control electronics. Competes indirectly as an OEM-channel alternative fuel injection supplier and as a partner/competitor for hydrogen fuel-cell components and components for legacy ICE platforms.
• Westport Fuel Systems Inc. Canadian-listed Tier-1 supplier of natural gas, propane, and hydrogen fuel systems for OEMs (Iveco, Volvo, Scania). Operates at much greater scale but addresses the same diesel-to-gas commercial-vehicle conversion opportunity, particularly in heavy-duty.

Others

• Dimsport S.r.l. Sister company under Holdim Group focused on ECU tuning, remapping, and electronic engine management. Sister-company relationship offers direct comparison for the broader Holdim portfolio but is positioned for performance tuning rather than alternative-fuel conversion per se.

Emerging players

• Ballard Power Systems Inc. Canadian hydrogen fuel-cell manufacturer for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and rail. Competes with Ecomotive's H-Dual approach on the same end-customer decarbonization need (heavy transport) but via a different technology pathway (hydrogen fuel cells versus hydrogen internal combustion).
• Cleanfuel S.r.l. (Metatron Group): Italian CNG/LPG conversion systems supplier focused on light-duty and passenger vehicles. Overlaps with Ecomotive's bi-fuel product line (Autogas Italia, Bigas) but typically targets simpler sequential-injection retrofit opportunities rather than heavy-duty industrial engines.
