Technologies for electrical mobility in Malta
Malta Electromobility Manufacturing (MEM) represents a pioneering partnership between I-FEVS and ERREMME, dedicated to revolutionizing electrical mobility solutions on the Maltese Islands. Our mission is clear: to deliver best-in-class manufacturing technologies for fully electric vehicles, specifically tailored to the unique mobility demands of both people and goods in Malta.
At MEM, we leverage our combined expertise to establish low-cost, sustainable, and innovative manufacturing processes designed for 2, 3, and 4-wheel electric vehicles. To support low-cost and affordable manufacturing, MEM will develop a novel approach based on a flexible microfactory capable of producing vehicles of varying wheel configurations. Additionally, we are exploring the establishment of a robotic laboratory aimed at training individuals in advanced manufacturing technologies, specifically catering to the unique requirements of Malta.
By aligning cutting-edge technology with local market needs, we provide affordable, reliable, and environmentally friendly mobility solutions that meet the distinctive requirements of Malta's geography and infrastructure.
Our team comprises highly skilled professionals with extensive backgrounds in technological innovation and strategic business development, both locally and internationally. Driven by our vision for a sustainable future, we are committed to enhancing Malta's transportation landscape through accessible electric mobility, benefiting residents, businesses, and the broader community.
Our differentiation
We are an automotive company developing high-performance, energy-efficient electric vehicles aligned with EURO NCAP safety standards. Backed by EU-funded R&D, several models are production-ready.
Our innovation includes solar-assisted charging: vehicles can recharge via both traditional infrastructure and integrated photovoltaic panels.
Product Highlights:
Passenger Vehicle (Kei-car/M1): 5-seater, 340cm long, 120km/h top speed, 10kWh/100km efficiency, 15km daily solar range.
Electric Minivan (Kei-car/N1): 2-seater, modular 18–48kWh battery capacity, 350kg load, 2.7m³ volume, 40km daily solar range.
A new manufacturing plant in Malta supports the EU's green goals. With growing EV demand and lower ownership costs (60% of gasoline vehicles over 5 years), this presents a strong investment opportunity.
Preferred financing: Convertible bonds or equity participation.

Research & Development
MEM in FLUENTLY – Human-Robot Synergy for Sustainable E-Mobility
MEM is a core pilot partner in FLUENTLY, a Horizon Europe research project (GA 958417, 2022–2025) that redefines how humans and collaborative robots work together. The initiative brought together 21 leading institutions — including STMicroelectronics, Prima Industrie, SUPSI and Waseda University — to build an intelligent interface and training environment for seamless, empathic human-robot interaction in complex industrial settings.
Our Use Case: Circular Battery Management
MEM’s contribution focused on the robotized disassembly and reconditioning of lithium-ion battery packs used in e-bikes and light electric vehicles — a crucial challenge in line with EU Regulation 2023/1542 on battery sustainability. We redesigned our battery packs for ease of disassembly and cell replacement, using:
- Standardized connectors and modular layouts
- Thermally conductive but robot-safe materials
- A solar-powered balancing system to extend battery lifespan
Intelligent Disassembly with FLUENTLY
Working closely with the FLUENTLY team, MEM developed a robotic system able to:
- Identify and assess battery status
- Unscrew, open and disassemble components without damage
- Detect and remove end-of-life cells, preserving healthy ones
The robots, equipped with the FLUENTLY Smart Interface, interact via voice, gesture, and biometric signals — enabling MEM staff to operate them without prior automation skills. The entire system was trained in the Robo-Gym, where human behavior and robotic learning were aligned in real-time.
Results & Impact
The final demonstration showed the robot fluently switching between tasks like:
- Monitoring temperature and voltage
- Handling different battery layouts
- Executing cell-level diagnostics and replacement
This pilot validated FLUENTLY’s potential to reduce ramp-up time, operator stress, and training costs, while enhancing safety, compliance, and automation in battery management.
MEM is now recognized as a reference case in circular battery design and human-robot collaboration, paving the way for broader adoption across the European e-mobility sector.
MEM Battery Recycling Innovation
Automating the dismantling of hazardous batteries to increase safety and efficiency.
Capital Raising for an innovative electric car and e-bikes company in Malta
This business proposition relates to an automotive company with an innovative solution to produce electric vehicles with high performance, efficiency and safety in line the European New Car Assessment Programme (EURO NCAP).
Along with the assistance of EU funded projects, over the last years the company invested heavily in research and development. A number of models are ready for production and to subsequently go on the market.
From an innovative point of view, apart from the traditional charging by connecting the vehicle to some form of charging infrastructure, vehicles produced by this brand are also equipped with Photo Voltaic Panels. These vehicles may charge via traditional charging infrastructure and partially via Photo Voltaic Panels.
Amongst others, the models comprise of a Passenger vehicle classified as Kei-car/M1 (designed and constructed for carriage of passengers), with 2 front seats and 3 ergonomics rear seats. The vehicle is 340cm long with a width of 148cm and 158cm in height. It comes with a top speed of 120km/h and with 10kWh/100km efficiency in the WLTC cycle with comprehensive Euro-NCAP safety certificates. The high efficiency solar panel on its roof allows a daily average 15km operation.
On the other hand, the minivan is targeted for industrial purposes, classified as Kei-car/N1 (designed for carriage of goods having maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes). The vehicle which is long 340cm is a 2 seater with 18kWh-48kWh modular battery capacity, load weight of 350kg and 2.7m³ volume capacity. Thanks to 5m² of high efficiency solar panels it can operate some 40km daily through solar harvested energy only.
The company intends to set up a manufacturing plant in Malta in order to produce its vehicles. The investment opportunity goes directly in line with the European Union's efforts and objectives to lower carbon and Greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, demand for electric vehicles has been on the increase over the last years in most EU countries, both due to various incentives by governments and due to a growing environmentally cautious market.
The total cost of ownership of such vehicles is also far lower than that of other traditional non-electric vehicles. According to company findings the total cost of ownership of electric vehicle after a period of 5 years will only amount 60% of a gasoline vehicle with a 1100 cubic centimeter engine.
The company is open to discuss various methods of finance, yet the use of convertible bonds or shares are favoured.
