Since then, the division has been set up as an independent company from a legal, operational, and organizational perspective and operates under the new brand Driventic. With its experienced management team led by CEO Dr. Gregor Wiche and around 1,400 employees at 26 locations in 18 countries worldwide, Driventic is well positioned to play an active role in shaping the future of the commercial vehicle market. “With the successful completion of the carve-out, we have reached an important milestone, both for the future of Driventic and for Voith Turbo”, says Cornelius Weitzmann, president and CEO of Voith Turbo. “As an independent company, Driventic can sharpen its market positioning and respond more quickly to customer and market demands. At the same time, we at Voith Turbo can fully concentrate on our high-margin core segments.” Driventic has started its journey as an independent company from a position of strength – with established products, global customers, and a clear strategy. As a standalone company with a 100 percent focus on the commercial vehicle industry, Driventic can respond more quickly to market and customer requirements and take autonomous investment and business decisions. At the same time, Driventic is securing its long-term growth: The company will continue to expand its business with e-mobility for buses and heavy-duty commercial vehicles while strengthening its strong market position in the field of conventional drivetrain solutions with an already well-established product range of systems and components. Driventic’s independence allows Voith Turbo to focus entirely on its strategic focus areas in the oil &amp; gas, energy, mining &amp; mechanical engineering, marine technology, and rail transportation industries. This enables targeted investment in technological innovation and the expansion of international market positions.&nbsp; For the Voith Group as a whole, the successful carve-out marks another step toward a clearly focused, competitive, and agile corporate structure. This step reflects sharper strategic alignment, greater agility, and a targeted further development of the Voith portfolio. Driventic is the specialist for efficient drive technologies in commercial vehicles. Whether for use in e-mobility or conventional drives, Driventic’s complete systems and digital services are drivers of the mobility transition – because they enable manufacturers and operators alike to sustainably operate their duty commercial vehicles. The company’s 1,400 employees at 26 locations in 18 countries are dedicated to one mission: to combine ecology with technological progress in the service of efficiency.&nbsp; Since November 1, 2025, Driventic is operating on the market as an independent company. The company, which is based in Heidenheim, Germany, is a spin-off of parts of the drive systems division of international technology group Voith. All Driventic’s products, systems and digital services are technological refinements and advancements of Voith solutions.</span></p>
