In 2021, Turkish engineers embarked on a pioneering project aimed at converting fossil-fuel-powered vehicles to 100% electric ones while preserving their original bodies. The first bus to be converted successfully completed all tests, marking a world-first in this field and began transporting passengers. This innovative achievement continued with the introduction of the world's first converted fleet into traffic.
Pepper Motion GmbH, which began its journey in Germany, contributes to sustainable transportation and zero emissions goals with its conversion kits for buses and trucks. Since its inception, it has created a global impact through partnerships established in several countries, including Germany, the USA, India, and France.
In 2024, the team of expert Turkish engineers have joined forces with Pepper Motion, leveraging their knowledge and vision for green cities to keep developing innovative and sustainable solutions under the roof of Pepper Motion Türkiye.
History
OUR MISSION
Electrical Vehicle Conversion
The mission of this venture is to facilitate the transition from fossil fuel-powered vehicles to zero-emission alternatives, contributing to a sustainable world through cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions. Conversion services are available for trucks, cement mixers, apron buses, minivans, agricultural machinery, and locomotives.
Effects of replacing fossil fuel vehicles
Significant asset losses;
-New zero electric vehicles are 2-3 times more expensive than new fossil fuel vehicles
-Production process is 3 times longer than electrical conversion
Environmental effects;
- The massive indirect GHG emissions during the production of both new electric and fossil fuel vehicles
- Thousands of diesel vehicles will be scrapped before the end of their operational life, generating high amounts of waste and adversely affecting the environment.
1 - Detailed engineering and preparation
2 - Replacement of diesel engines and powertrains with battery packs and electric motors
3 – Renewed, tested, and certified, by governmental authorities for carrying passengers, 100% electric buses
