What Ingenev does

Ingenev is a private energy transition company, founded in 2024 and headquartered in Chicago, that develops modular hybrid power systems for two distinct end markets: behind-the-meter and off-grid power supply for AI data centers, and range-extended powertrains for electric vehicle manufacturers. Its technology portfolio rests on three granted patents covering the INGEN-SSE combustion engine (a double-chamber, dual-injector, dual-spark design optimized as a sequential range extender at constant RPM), the EV-INGEN powertrain (which integrates the SSE engine into the battery tray of an existing BEV architecture to deliver 20% more range using only 60% of existing battery cells), and the DC-INGEN 4-in-1 data center power solution providing 1MW-100MW of modular BTM and micro-grid capability with a stated 15-18 month deployment timeline. The mobility platform has been independently validated by IAV at TRL Stage 4, and a Core-tier partnership with Caterpillar underpins the data center delivery capability, supported by an EPC-veteran engineering team.

The company operates a dual-vertical go-to-market through enterprise field sales, targeting AI data center operators, hyperscalers, colocation providers, utilities, and municipalities on the Power side and automotive OEMs on the Mobility side, with active presence at events such as IAA Mobility 2025 to generate leads. Revenue mechanics are hardware-led, consisting of modular power system sales (1MW-100MW), mobility powertrain sales to OEMs, and ancillary engineering services such as environmental and design analysis through its POWERFARM team, with pricing handled via custom quotations rather than published tiers. International operations are conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries INGENEV Automotive Europe s.a r.l in Luxembourg and INGENEV Automotive Europe Branch Germany, and the company is led by Group CEO Reeza Zarook, Power division CEO Jason Seiden, Chairman Jeff Taylor, and a full C-suite spanning engineering, legal, marketing, and business development.

Core offering

Ingenev designs, develops, and sells patented hybrid power systems combining modular battery storage with generator technology. Its portfolio includes the INGEN-SSE engine, the EV-INGEN range-extender powertrain for electric vehicles, and the DC-INGEN off-grid data center power solution, alongside the modular INGENEV POWER FARM delivering 1MW–100MW of behind-the-meter power for AI data centers and energy infrastructure operators.

Product overview

Ingenev is an innovative engineering company that delivers hybrid power systems for data centers and mobility applications. The company offers a portfolio of patented products centered around the INGEN-SSE™ engine technology, which serves as a range extender in the EV-INGEN™ solution for electric vehicles and as part of the DC-INGEN™ power system for data centers. The INGENEV POWER FARM provides modular BTM (Behind-The-Meter) power solutions ranging from 1MW to 100MW for AI data centers. The technology addresses range anxiety in electric vehicles through the RE-EV (Range Extended Electric Vehicle) architecture while also solving power infrastructure challenges for data centers facing AI-driven energy demands.

Products and services

• INGEN-SSE Patented super-efficient combustion engine featuring a double chamber design for each piston rod with dual injectors and dual sparks. Operates optimally at constant RPM and load as a sequential range extender for hybrid electric vehicles.
• EV-INGEN Range-extended electric vehicle (RE-EV) powertrain integration that places the INGEN-SSE engine into a BEV's battery tray, reducing NRE and CAPex for automotive OEMs while preserving existing vehicle engineering and generating 20% more range with only 60% of existing battery cells.
• DC-INGEN 4-in-1 data center power solution providing full off-grid capability, functioning as both a micro-grid and behind-the-meter option. Serves hyperscalers, colocation providers, utilities, states, and municipalities, and addresses both high power draw and sudden load drop scenarios.
• INGENEV POWER FARM Modular behind-the-meter power solution delivering 1MW to 100MW of DC and AC power for AI data centers and other energy-dependent operations. Delivered as a turnkey solution with a 15–18 month deployment timeline and supported by a direct Caterpillar relationship and EPC engineering team.

Broad incumbents

• Generac: Generac is the leading manufacturer of backup and prime power generation systems, including natural gas and diesel generators used in commercial, industrial, and data center applications. It represents the incumbent that any BTM hybrid solution must displace or augment.
• Caterpillar: Caterpillar is both an Ingenev partner and the dominant incumbent in diesel and gas generator sets used in data center backup and off-grid power. Any modular hybrid power product ultimately competes with or complements Caterpillar's installed service network and engine portfolio.
• Cummins: Cummins is a global incumbent in engines, power generation systems, and increasingly electrified powertrains. Its Power Generation and Accelera by Cummins businesses overlap directly with both Ingenev's Power Farm and hybrid EV powertrain offerings.
• Wärtsilä: Wärtsilä is a global incumbent in engine-based modular power plants and energy storage solutions, including hybrid systems for grid balancing and data center applications. Its Engine+Storage hybrid platform is functionally adjacent to Ingenev's Power Farm architecture.

Direct peers

• Bloom Energy: Bloom Energy sells fuel-cell-based behind-the-meter and grid-tied power systems to data centers, hyperscalers, and industrial customers. It directly competes with DC-INGEN in solving the AI-driven data center power constraint with distributed, fast-to-deploy generation assets.
• Workhorse Group: Workhorse designs and manufactures range-extended electric delivery vehicles and drones targeting last-mile fleet operators. It is a direct mobility peer pursuing hybrid powertrain solutions to bridge BEV range and cost gaps.
• Lightning eMotors: Lightning eMotors builds purpose-built, battery-electric and hybrid powertrain vehicles for commercial fleets. It targets the same fleet and commercial customer pain points (range anxiety, total cost of ownership) that Ingenev's EV-INGEN seeks to solve.

Regional players

• Wrightbus: Wrightbus is a UK-based bus manufacturer with a strong range-extended and hydrogen hybrid product line for transit fleets. It is a regional mobility peer demonstrating commercial viability of range-extended architectures in heavy-duty vehicle platforms.

Emerging players

• Mainspring Energy: Mainspring Energy develops linear generator technology for behind-the-meter and grid-connected power, with active data center deployments. It is the closest emerging competitor in the modular, fuel-flexible, on-site data center power category.
• Enchanted Rock: Enchanted Rock provides on-site natural gas backup and microgrid power to data centers, commercial, and industrial customers. It targets the same behind-the-meter, fast-deployment data center power segment as Ingenev's DC-INGEN.
