Gimec Trasmissioni

What Gimec Trasmissioni does

Gimec Trasmissioni srl is an Italian private B2B manufacturer headquartered in Scandiano (province of Reggio Emilia), specializing in the design and in-house production of gearboxes, differentials, and power-transmission components for electric, industrial and agricultural vehicles. The company's origins trace to the 1960s as an artisan gearbox-repair workshop; it was formally incorporated as GIMEC Trasmissioni Srl in the late 1990s, expanded into a larger, consolidated headquarters in 2018, and reorganized its processes to achieve ISO 9001 certification in June 2024.

Its product portfolio is split across two main lines plus accessories: electric-vehicle reducers (the "EC" series including EC05, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4 and EC260, plus two-speed and differential-lock variants of EC2) covering continuous wheel torque from 280 Nm to 6,000 Nm; industrial and agricultural-vehicle reducers (the "RM" and "T" series including RM102E, RM225B/D/E, T2000B/D and T2500B/D) with input torque up to 2,500 Nm and output torque up to 10,000 Nm, including bimodal ICE/electric units; and a complementary accessories range (wheel hubs, brake cables, homocinetic joints, belt-driven speed variators, motor-wheels, and drum-brake hubs). Some industrial and agricultural solutions are patented. Most manufacturing — CNC turning and milling (including a DMG NHC 5000 added in 2024), welding, assembly and testing — is performed in-house, with only specialized processes outsourced.

Gimec sells directly to OEM and industrial customers through a structured commercial department (Ufficio Commerciale) and dedicated contact channels for purchasing, technical, quality and administrative functions, serving markets primarily in Italy and across Europe with selective non-European activity. The commercial approach emphasizes custom-engineered solutions tailored to client specifications alongside a standardized catalog, with marketing conducted through the corporate website (Italian and English), downloadable catalogs, LinkedIn and Instagram, and product video animations. Customers span electric sweepers and utility vehicles, microcars and small urban mobility, golf cars, electric forklifts, agricultural machinery, urban passenger transport, and ICE-powered industrial and agricultural vehicles.

Core offering

Gimec Trasmissioni designs and manufactures gearboxes, differentials, reducers, and power transmission components for electric, industrial, and agricultural vehicles. The portfolio includes a catalog of differential axles (EC series) for electric vehicles, splitter reducers (RM and T series) for endothermic and bimodal industrial/agricultural applications, and supporting accessories such as wheel hubs, brake cables, homocinetic joints, speed variators, and motor-wheels. Most products are customizable to customer specifications and produced in-house at the Scandiano (RE) facility.

Product overview

Gimec Trasmissioni is an Italian manufacturer specializing in gearboxes, reducers, and power transmissions for electric, industrial, and agricultural vehicles. The product portfolio consists of two main categories: electric vehicle reducers (EC series including EC05, EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, EC260, and variants like two-speed and differential lock models) and industrial/agricultural vehicle reducers (RM and T series including RM102E, RM225B/D/E, T2000B/D, T2500B/D). The company also offers a comprehensive range of accessories including wheel hubs, brake cables, homocinetic joints, speed variators, motor-wheels, and hubs with drum brakes. With over 40 years of experience, the company manufactures most components in-house and achieved ISO 9001 certification in June 2024. Planned innovations for 2025 include self-locking and manually lockable differentials.
