What Mobility & Innovation Production does

Mobility & Innovation Production s.r.o. (MIP) is a Slovak privately held engineering company specializing in zero-emission powertrain development for commercial vehicles. Founded in 2018 around electric bus documentation acquired from Evopro, the company designs and integrates hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric propulsion systems packaged in proprietary ultra-lightweight self-supporting composite bodies. Its flagship products are the M&I RH120R hydrogen tractor built on a Ford Trucks F-MAX platform (45 tonnes GVW, 600-750 km hydrogen range, EU homologated in 2024), the SK080ES electric city bus (EU type approved 2021), and a hydrogen city bus variant (homologated 2022). All vehicles are independently certified, with the hydrogen tractor certified by TÜV SÜD and the company holding ISO 9001 certification since 2020.

MIP operates as a system integrator rather than a vertically integrated OEM, sourcing fuel cells (REFIRE, Loop Energy), hydrogen tanks (Nproxx), traction batteries (Durapower), electric motors (DANA TM4, Siemens), and transmissions (EATON) from tier-1 suppliers and assembling the final vehicle. Its revenue model combines hardware sales of homologated zero-emission buses and trucks with professional system integration services covering homologation support, custom engineering, and consulting. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting public transport operators, logistics and fleet operators, private enterprises with fleet operations, and cities/municipalities. Pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. Current customers are in pilot or MoU phase, including Metrans and Waberer's (logistics pilots for the hydrogen tractor), ORLEN Unipetrol (Czech energy partner), and the Czech cities of Most and Litvínov (hydrogen bus pilot).

The company is headquartered in Orechová Potôň, Slovakia, with a team of 12 identified members led by CEO János Onódi. Strategic investor and co-owner Rudolf Hrubý, who supported the company's pivot toward hydrogen technology, passed away in December 2023. MIP has received regional recognition including the 2022 Gold Medal for Innovation in Transport and Logistics at the MSV Brno engineering fair. Its operating geographies are currently Slovakia and the Czech Republic, with EU expansion implied through EU-type-approved vehicles and pilot engagements with Central European logistics operators.
