We help meet the world’s carbon reduction targets with our revolutionary technologies to transform the carbon-intensive transportation and energy storage sectors. These key industries produce a high percentage of global emissions, yet to date, they lack the implementation of technological breakthroughs needed to decarbonise.

Conventional drivetrains deliver suboptimal efficiency and power density, limiting the performance and range of electric vehicles. Safety issues, scarcity of materials, and poor recyclability hamper legacy batteries. Despite the growing urgency of climate change, many still rely on outdated technologies that hinder decarbonisation. Continuing on this trajectory will lead to a bleak future where the planet continues to warm as emissions keep rising.

Disruptive Technologies

DGI is revolutionising sustainable transport and energy storage by powering the transition from costly, carbon-intensive technologies to high-performance sustainable innovations. For over a decade, DGI has pioneered cutting-edge battery and electric drivetrain solutions that propel industries toward a net zero future and beyond. Our patented bio-waste derived hard carbon anode material for sodium-ion batteries makes sustainable energy storage affordable at scale, while our segmented EV motor architectures unlock unprecedented efficiency and power density, extending range and reducing emissions.

Transformative Solutions

DGI is bringing transformative sustainable transport and energy storage solutions to automotive manufacturers, energy companies, battery manufacturers, and vehicle fleet operators. Leading automotive companies turn to us to realise enhanced performance and range targets for their newest EV models. Government departments leverage our expertise in high power-density systems to electrify defence vehicles. Global battery suppliers work with us to make sodium-ion solutions commercially viable. And logistics giants collaborate with us to customise electric drivetrains that equip their delivery fleets for a zero-emissions future.

We help manufacturers, suppliers, OEMs, and operators to reimagine what’s possible, accelerate their decarbonisation timelines, achieve cost savings, and future-proof their operations while achieving meaningful climate progress. Our patented technologies help commercialise and scale the most cutting-edge sustainable designs, allowing our customers to lead markets worldwide. Together, we can achieve ambitious climate commitments while powering the sustainable revolution.
