Everrati & Aria Introduce EV Platform for Low-Volume Manufacturers
Collaboration offers an alternative to bespoke EV development at a time when investors & policymakers are increasingly focused on scalable electrification…
Everrati and Aria Group Inc. will launch a new B2B electric vehicle platform at CES 2026 designed specifically for manufacturers that have been priced out of electrification, company officials stated in a press release.
The joint platform combines Everrati’s OEM-grade, modular electric powertrain with Aria’s lightweight composite chassis architecture to deliver a production-ready EV solution for low-volume OEMs, specialty vehicle programs, heritage brands, and defense and off-road applications, noted the release.
The result is a lower cost solution, reduced development risk, and faster time to market compared with traditional clean-sheet EV programs, the companies claimed.
Platform Engineered To Support Low- & Medium-Volume Production
“This is about removing the structural barriers that have made low-volume electrification slow, expensive and risky,” said Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati. “By pairing a proven electric powertrain with a highly adaptable composite chassis, we’re giving manufacturers a credible, scalable route to EVs without the usual financial burden.”
Clive Hawkins, Aria Group Inc. CEO, added, “Our customers consistently struggle to balance packaging, performance, cost and regulatory compliance. This partnership brings together two complementary technologies to solve that problem in a practical, commercially viable way.”
The turnkey platform is engineered to support low- and medium-volume production, including programs required to meet U.S. crash and regulatory standards. A joint development mule and demonstrator vehicle is planned, with active discussions already underway with prospective customers in North America and Europe.
