This is a major milestone that we are reaching at the start of 2026.
It has now been 10 years since Hy.G motors (aka Hy-Generation) began developing its electric propulsion solutions within the Socomoregroup ecosystem in Vannes.
As we begin our 11th year of collaboration, we look back on a decade that has transformed an innovative vision into a cutting-edge industrial reality.
A strategic and capital alliance
The history linking Hy.G Motors to the Socomore group goes far beyond geography or simple accommodation.
This is a genuine structural partnership, rooted in a long-term vision.
This strong commitment has been reflected in the Socomore group's capital investment in Hy.G Motors.
This investment demonstrates absolute confidence in our potential and a shared desire to provide our technology with the financial stability and clout needed to strive for industrial excellence.
The "SocoHub" Spirit: Creating tomorrow's ideas over coffee
But the success of a high-tech project is not determined solely in design offices or boardrooms.
It also stems from a culture, a way of being together.
That's the power of SocoHub.
More than just a place, it is a philosophy of exchange.
It is this ability to get together, sometimes simply over a cup of coffee, to exchange glances.
It is in these informal moments that aeronautical expertise meets the challenges of the maritime world.
This "positive friction" between our teams and those at Socomore creates a unique sense of emulation.
It is here, amid this abundance of ideas and human closeness, that tomorrow's solutions are imagined.
Industrial Excellence at the service of RIM technology
Benefiting from this environment—both financially structured and agile in terms of exchange—has acted as an accelerator for our R&D.
Daily immersion alongside an industry leader has enabled us to align our propulsion technology RIM (Rim Driven Motor) with the most demanding standards.
In 10 years, we have undergone a complete transformation:
- High-Tech Validation: Moving from proof of concept to high-performance prototypes.
- Industrialization: Implementation of rigorous manufacturing processes to ensure mass production.
- Reliability: A quality approach inspired by aerospace industry standards.
A shared vision
This success is also the result of a meeting between two leaders, Frédéric Lescure and Rémi Champeaux, united by their desire to decarbonize mobility.
Thanks to this ecosystem, which is unique in Brittany and combines industrial power with a collaborative spirit, Hy.G motors now has mature technology at its disposal.
Heading into our 11th year!
The adventure continues with the same energy.
Electric propulsion is a technology of the future, and it is here in Vannes that it is being invented.
