Trionic Group

What Trionic Group does

Trionic Group is a privately held designer and manufacturer of vehicle management and motor control systems for industrial vehicle OEMs, with a primary focus on Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs, also known as MEWPs). Founded in 1995 as PG Trionic in Essex, Massachusetts, the group today operates through three wholly-owned subsidiaries — PG Trionic, Inc. (Americas), Trionic Mobility Systems SAS (France, est. Q4 2007), and Trionic Shenzhen Ltd. (China, est. Q1 2017) — providing regional sales, engineering, and project management support globally.

The company's core technology centers on CANbus-based modular control architectures for battery-powered and hybrid industrial vehicles. Its product portfolio spans master vehicle controllers (RT93, GP500), DC and AC motor controllers (SEM300/SEM301, SEM600, TS100/TS200, DAC243, DAC483, P600, P648, T160, EZLift140), CANbus I/O modules (Platform Box, GP442/GP421, GP450, Matrix, Mini I/O), supporting components (CANTilt, EZfit angle transducer, EZdc converters, H-bridges, load cell interfaces), and proprietary calibration/diagnostic tools (EZcal, EZcal Pro, EZcal Go). The architecture enables OEMs to combine modules into vehicle-specific configurations, reducing wiring complexity and component count while maintaining EN280, EN 13849-1, UL, and CE compliance. Trionic holds US Patent No. 7,956,558 covering its SEM600 dual motor power panel system.

Trionic generates revenue through direct B2B hardware sales of these control electronics to OEM manufacturers of mobile industrial equipment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with custom configuration per vehicle platform. Go-to-market is sales-led: Trionic works closely with OEM engineering teams on product specification and provides global sales, project management, and engineering support through its three regional offices. Products reach OEMs via direct sales complemented by a digital presence (corporate website in English and Chinese, plus an Interactive Product Web App launched October 2024). The company remains founder-controlled under Christian C. Peyla (Chairman/President) and Matthew G. Peyla (CEO), with no disclosed external institutional funding.

Core offering

Trionic Group designs, develops and manufactures electronic vehicle management and motor control systems for industrial vehicle OEMs, with a focus on Aerial Work Platforms (AWP/MEWP). The portfolio includes CANbus-based master vehicle controllers (RT93, GP500), DC and AC motor controllers, platform/operator I/O modules, sensor/control components, and proprietary diagnostic and calibration tools (EZcal). Products are modular and connect over CANbus to reduce wiring complexity, and are built to UL, CE, EN280 and ISO 13849 standards.

Product overview

Trionic Group provides vehicle management and motor control solutions for industrial vehicle OEMs, specializing in aerial work platforms (AWP). The product portfolio operates as a modular platform architecture where central vehicle controllers (RT93, GP500) serve as master controllers that integrate with specialized motor controllers, I/O modules, and components via CANbus. DC Motor Controllers include SEM600 dual motor drive system, TS100/TS200 dual motor controllers for scissor lifts, P648/P600 pump controllers, T160 versatile controller, and EZLift series controllers. AC Motor Controllers comprise DAC243 (24V) and DAC483 (48V) dual AC drives. CANbus I/O modules include Platform Box, RT Platform Box, CAN Display Module, GP442/GP421, GP450, Matrix, CAN Joystick I/O, and Mini I/O. Component offerings include CANTilt Module, EZfit Dual Angle Transducer, Pressure Transducer, EZdc DC Converter, Load Cell Interface Module, VCCM, Mini H-Bridge, Quad H-Bridge, and EZ14i. Diagnostic and calibration Tools include EZcal Go wireless app, EZcal Pro handheld tool, Diagnostic Center Display, and EZcal Max. Products use RS232 and CANbus communications with external tools, and are built to UL and CE standards.

Direct peers

• Zapi Group: Zapi Group produces motor controllers, battery chargers, and CAN-connected vehicle electronics for electric industrial vehicles, including aerial platforms and material-handling equipment. Directly comparable to Trionic on AC/DC motor drives, CANbus I/O, and OEM-direct sales to industrial vehicle builders.
• Curtis Instruments: Curtis Instruments designs and manufactures motor controllers, DC/DC converters, and vehicle control modules for battery-powered industrial vehicles (forklifts, AGVs, aerial work platforms). Highly comparable to Trionic in target customers (mobile industrial OEMs), product mix (motor controllers + I/O), and CAN-based architecture.
• Hydro-Gear: Hydro-Gear designs and manufactures integrated transaxles and electronic drive systems for zero-turn mowers, utility vehicles, and small mobile industrial equipment. Comparable to Trionic as a Tier-1 supplier of motor control and drive electronics to OEMs in the mobile industrial vehicle segment.
• Sevcon (BorgWarner): Sevcon, now part of BorgWarner, makes motor controllers, ECUs, and CAN-based vehicle management systems for on-road and off-road electric vehicles including MEWPs/AWPs. It is the most direct comparable to Trionic and shares founder lineage (Chairman Peyla and VP Cull both came from Sevcon).

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Rexroth: Bosch Rexroth is a global supplier of hydraulic and electric drives, motor controllers, and mobile electronics for off-highway machines including AWPs. Comparable to Trionic on proportional hydraulic valve control and CAN-based machine control, but with a much broader portfolio spanning hydraulics, motors, and factory automation.
• Parker Hannifin: Parker Hannifin's Motion Systems group produces motor controllers, drives, and CAN-based vehicle electronics (including the IQAN platform) for mobile equipment OEMs in construction, agriculture, and material handling. Overlaps with Trionic on CANbus I/O, motor control, and safety-rated electronics but serves many more end markets.
• Danfoss Power Solutions: Danfoss Power Solutions (including the PLUS+1 and Editron product lines) supplies motor controllers, ECUs, and hydraulic electronics for a wide range of mobile off-highway machines including AWPs/MEWPs. Comparable technology stack (CAN-based controllers, motor drives, I/O modules) but operates at significantly larger scale and across more vehicle categories.
• Moog (Industrial Group): Moog produces motion control electronics, proportional valves, and integrated controllers for industrial and mobile machinery. Comparable to Trionic on proportional hydraulic control and CAN-based motion control, though Moog serves a broader set of industrial, aerospace, and defense end markets.
