WHO WE ARE

Ecosave is a Brazilian startup that is disrupting the commercial vehicle industry. We offer solutions for converting combustion vehicles into electric ones, a process that can be called retrovit. By definition, retrovit is the maintenance of something exchanged for better technologies. Vehicle retrofitting is the process of retrofitting an old vehicle to onboard newer, more efficient technology. Ecosave retrofits combustion commercial vehicles to become electric, making them have a more efficient and environmentally friendly powertrain. 

 

Currently, the investment in a retrofit process costs an average of 35% of the value of a 100% electric zero-kilometer vehicle. In other words, it is a more affordable option for companies that want to reduce their environmental impact and decrease their maintenance costs. 

Why convert a vehicle to electric?

Converting combustion vehicles to electric vehicles is an increasingly popular option for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. In Brazil, Ecosave is the first company to offer this service. The advantages of this transformation are growing more and more: 

Emissions reduction

100% electric vehicles, completely eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. 

Fuel economy

The consumption cost is significantly lower compared to combustion cars. 

Increase in resale value

By electrifying your vehicle, you not only contribute to its ecological value but also add value to the automobile compared to combustion models. Replacing the engine provides an all-new powertrain, increasing the longevity of the vehicle.

Reduced maintenance costs

Electrification reduces vehicle complexity, resulting in more affordable maintenance due to a decrease in the number of parts. 

Better performance

The electric motors, with an efficiency of over 90%, offer a remarkably improved performance compared to conventional engines, even improving the driving experience of the vehicle. 

HOW IT WORKS

For conversion, some changes to the vehicle are required: 

Common questions

Doubt? We are here to help.

  • What is commercial vehicle retrofit?

    Ecosave retrofits commercial combustion vehicles, transforming them into more efficient and environmentally friendly electric vehicles. This process involves the electrification of the powertrain of used vehicles, providing more modern technology. These commercial vehicles, with a Gross Weight of up to 3.5 tons, are intended for the simultaneous or alternative transport of people and cargo. They perform a variety of functions, such as transporting students to schools and providing charter services, in both urban and rural settings. 

  • How much does it cost to invest in a retrofit process?

    The investment cost in a conversion process like this is, on average, 35% of the value of a 100% electric zero-kilometer vehicle. 

  • How can ECOSAVE help my company become more sustainable?

    Converting a combustion vehicle into an electric one increases the life of the vehicle, and is the same as changing the engine to zero. In a vehicle, what ends its life is the engine itself. In this way, Ecosave contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions, especially in large urban centers where light commercial vehicles are widely used. 

  • What are ECOSAVE's differentials?

    ECOSAVE is a leading commercial vehicle retrofit company with years of experience and a differentiated, transdisciplinary team. In addition, we have in-depth knowledge of the commercial transport market in urban centers, and extensive experience in vehicle transformation. 

  • What are the types of commercial vehicles that can be turned into electric?

    ECOSAVE can transform commercial vehicles into electric ones, including vans and other cargo vehicles. 

  • How can I get a quote for a commercial vehicle retrofit?

    To get a quote for the retrofit of a commercial vehicle, simply contact ECOSAVE. 

  • What is the maximum power achieved after conversion?

    The maximum power achieved after the conversion to electric is 170hp, with an average autonomy of approximately 200km on an urban route considering the average slopes of roads. Fully modular assembly, making it possible to remove the battery for maintenance without having to damage the vehicle.
