About Us
Reborn Electric Motors
We believe in the power of sustainable transport and renewable energy as an environmental solution. Aware of our opportunities, we decided to embark on the path towards electromobility in 2016.
We saw in electromobility the opportunity to develop as a pioneering company in this technology, and to date, we have positioned ourselves as one of the first electric bus factories in Latin America, electrifying the body and chassis of our models within the national territory. Since 2019, we have formed an alliance with Link+, which, with its 50 years of experience in operating mining buses and our electrical expertise, has empowered us to deliver this innovative proposal to the industry.
Why Reborn?
We are known for delivering the best of Chilean engineering to electromobility in order to accelerate the decarbonization of transport, giving the Reborn Electric Motors seal to each part of the production line. We have an interdisciplinary team of 70 engineers, administrators, technicians, designers, and journalists who are pioneers in electromobility.
WHAT WE DO
Mission
