SEG Automotive: Mobility Starts with Us - For over 100 Years

Shaping past, present and future of mobility

With our engineering expertise and operational excellence, we have continuously been driving technological progress in our industry.

We deliver solutions for today's and tomorrow's market requirements. More than 100 years ago, our starter motors and generators revolutionized how vehicles are used in everyday life. As inventors of Start/Stop and pioneers of mild hybridization, we make present day combustion engines considerably more efficient and climate-friendly.

Inspired by our passion for innovation, we are working tirelessly to extend our technological leadership to e-mobility and develop competitive products for the future of transportation. 

In all our actions, we are pursuing a clear goal: to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions with our solutions.
