OEM & ODM

OEM Electric Vehicles
OEM projects follow buyer-defined specifications or an approved product configuration. Depending on the selected model and confirmed scope, requirements may cover vehicle components, branding, appearance, packaging and product documentation.
This option suits buyers who have established product specifications and need a supplier to manufacture against an agreed configuration.

ODM Electric Vehicles
ODM projects start with an existing product platform or a product development brief. The proposed requirements are reviewed against the available design and technical constraints to determine which changes are feasible.
This approach may allow buyers to adapt an existing model instead of developing an entirely new vehicle. The available scope depends on the product platform and the engineering work required.
For both project types, design responsibility, tooling ownership, intellectual property rights and permitted use of drawings or designs should be agreed in writing.

Customization Options
Customization availability varies by model. Each request should be reviewed against the existing vehicle configuration before a quotation is finalized.

Standard options and engineering modifications should be treated separately. A component change may affect electrical compatibility, performance, safety or regulatory requirements. Structural modifications may require additional engineering, testing, time and cost.
The quotation should identify which requested changes are included, which require additional work and which cannot be confirmed until further assessment.

A documented review process helps establish a clear reference for the product to be supplied.

Define the Requirements
Provide the target market, intended application, vehicle type, estimated order quantity and required specifications. Product links, drawings, photographs or physical samples can help clarify the project.

Review Technical Feasibility
Evaluate the requested configuration against the selected model. Relevant considerations may include motor and controller compatibility, battery and charger specifications, component installation, structural changes and destination-market requirements.
Any unresolved technical issues should be identified before the project proceeds.

Confirm the Specification and Quotation
The agreed project documents should identify the vehicle configuration, customization scope, applicable inspection criteria, commercial terms, sample arrangements and estimated schedule.
Development, tooling or additional testing costs should be listed where applicable.

Approve the Sample or Final Configuration
Where sampling is required, review the agreed components, appearance, branding, labels and packaging. Define the acceptance criteria before approval.
Changes requested after approval should be documented and assessed for their potential impact on cost, schedule, performance and compliance.

Establish Production and Inspection Requirements
Before mass production, confirm the final specification and applicable quality acceptance criteria. Agree on the inspection scope, required functional checks and any inspection records to be provided.
This gives both parties a consistent basis for checking production units against the approved configuration.

Quality requirements should be defined for the selected vehicle model and the buyer's intended market.
Depending on the vehicle and agreed specification, relevant checks may include:
• Component and configuration verification.
• Assembly and installation inspection.
• Electrical function checks.
• Braking and lighting checks where applicable.
• Additional tests required by the product specification or destination market.
The actual inspection process and available records should be confirmed for the specific model rather than assumed to be identical across the product range.

Destination-Market Requirements
Before placing an order, buyers should identify the applicable requirements for the complete vehicle and its relevant components, including the battery, charger, labeling and supporting documentation.
The applicable rules depend on the vehicle category, configuration and destination market. A certificate or test report for one model should not automatically be assumed to cover another model or a modified configuration.
The relevant standards, available documents, additional testing needs and associated costs should be reviewed before production approval.

To assess a project, please provide the information available at this stage.

If the technical specifications are not finalized, start with the target market, product type, reference model and estimated quantity. The remaining requirements can be clarified during the initial review. 

Send your product specifications, reference images or drawings, target market and estimated order quantity for an initial project assessment.
The review can help identify a suitable product platform, clarify the requested customization scope and determine which technical, compliance and commercial details need to be confirmed before sampling or production.
