The partners claim the new company is now the world’s leading electric conversion systems manufacturer with a presence across three continents.

The new company is scaling up to meet exponential global demand, establish a facility in North America and continue to lead the industry in quality, safety, reliability and volume, as well as electric conversion training programs for the automotive industry.

Fellten (Welsh for lightning) designs, engineers and manufactures bolt-in systems to convert classic cars into EVs. The merger gives the new company an international supply chain that allows automotive workshops and vehicle restorers across Australia, North America and Europe to install electric conversion systems designed and developed by Fellten’s world class team.

Fellten has engineered systems for a variety of classic brands and models, starting with Porsche 911s, Classic Minis, and Land Rover Series and Defenders, with more electrification solutions for more classic brands and models coming.

“Every vehicle on the road will need to be electric by 2050 for us to achieve net zero emissions and classic car owners will want their vehicle to be electric much sooner,” said Dave Budge, Jaunt Motors co-founder and CEO, and now chief design officer of Fellten. “With production facilities on three continents, industry-leading technology and development capabilities, Fellten is ready to meet those needs for consumers and the automotive industry.”
