Philippines’ Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc. (IMI) and Zero Motorcycles, an American electric motorcycle and power train maker, have forged a partnership to increase access to the leading full-sized all-electric motorcycles.

IMI has expertise in both electronics manufacturing and motorcycle assembly all located under one roof.

Accordingly, the strategic manufacturing collaboration involves both the full assembly of the motorcycles as well as partial, modular assemblies. Particularly, IMI will assemble Zero’s electric motorcycle models and other assemblies in their facility in Laguna in conjunction with the manufacturing facilities for Zero in Scott’s Valley, California.

Expands Global Footprint

Arthur R. Tan, chief executive officer of IMI, said, “We look forward to such amazing collaboration to help bring their innovative electric motorcycles to the world.” In addition, Tan said, “This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting companies in their growth and sustainability efforts while providing high-quality manufacturing services.”

The two companies expect to start mass production in Q2 of 2023.

Meanwhile, Sam Paschel, chief executive officer of Zero Motorcycles, said the expansion of their manufacturing footprint allows them to efficiently scale up to meet the rapidly growing demand for its products. Particularly, Paschel took note of the growing customer interest and satisfaction in the fast-growing EV market.

“We are thrilled to partner with IMI and bring their expertise in electronics manufacturing and motorcycle assembly to the Zero Motorcycles lineup of products,” said Paschel.
