Mining sector seeks interest in Everrati’s UGVs

UK-based electric propulsion specialist Everrati has received industry enquiries for its unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) application, including the mining sector.

Co-CEO Rhodri Darch says technologies powering the electric vehicle revolution are becoming fundamentally unmanned and autonomous systems.

“UGVs are the natural first move for a company like ours: the technology transfer is close to a lift-and-shift, with a different set of operating requirements,” Darch says.

“Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) follow, introducing additional constraints around weight and airspace, and demand a more aerospace-focused engineering discipline.”

According to Everrati, the expansion of UGVs and UAVs and next-generation mobility platforms are driving demand for advancing electric propulsion technologies.

Grand View Research reports that global UGVs mark size was estimated at US$3.33 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$7.73 billion in 2033, growing at an annual compound growth rate of 10.1% from 2025 to 2033.

Everrati focuses on developing advanced electric propulsion systems for integration into specialist platforms, rather than designing entire vehicles. The company works with a specialist partner ecosystem, comprising Helix, DASIS, Motion Applied, and Raeon, to deliver propulsion architecture and integration across a growing range of advanced mobility applications.

Raeon’s proprietary FloLock and AnyVolt technologies enable bespoke, cell and chemistry-agnostic battery systems – spanning over 450 cell models and chemistries from lithium-titanium-oxide and sodium to nickel-manganese-cobalt and lithium-iron-phosphate – to be produced in 12 weeks.

The company’s UK-based manufacturing also provides supply chain resilience for partners in defence and UAV sectors, where procurement continuity is operationally critical.

Meanwhile, Motion Applied brings whole-system integration expertise across motors, inverters, and batteries with a focus on rigorous validation under real-world conditions.

Helix supplies electric motors and inverters developed in some of the most demanding performance environments, including motorsports, aerospace, and defence.

Everrati operates in two distinct divisions. Powered by Everrati provides advanced EV powertrain solutions, while the core Everrati brand is a private client division focused on creating EVs.
