Mattro Mobility Revolutions GmbH

Mattro Mobility Revolutions GmbH, commonly known as Mattro, is an Austrian technology-driven engineering company specializing in fully electric Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and intelligent lithium-ion battery systems. Founded in 2006 in Schwaz, Austria, by vehicle builder Alois Bauer, the company grew out of electric vehicle technology and in-house battery development, and today positions itself as a long-term engineering partner for OEMs and system integrators working in demanding terrain and mission-critical environments. Mattro's product portfolio centers on two tracked electric UGV platforms — ROVO and Crawler — together with in-house developed battery systems for off-highway use. ROVO is an agile, fully electric tracked UGV engineered for off-road performance and seamless system integration, offered in Performance and Heavy Duty variants with CAN-based interfaces for sensors, autonomy stacks and mission-specific payloads. Crawler is optimized for compact dimensions, high payload capacity and stability, with a low center of gravity suited to confined industrial or emergency spaces. Mattro's battery systems, including a swappable 11.4 kWh Li-ion pack with automotive-grade components and integrated heating for low-temperature missions down to -20°C, provide the energy backbone for these platforms and for mobile machines operating in harsh environments. The company's roots lie in electric mobility: early products such as the Ziesel off-road vehicle and its Energy Packs laid the foundation for today's UGV focus. With more than 15 years of battery technology experience and over a decade of field-proven UGV operation, Mattro combines practical engineering with deep system integration expertise. Its platforms are described as modular, integration-ready, field-proven and series-ready, enabling customers to focus on performance, functionality and mission success rather than the drivetrain. Mattro operates from its base in Schwaz, Austria, and serves customers worldwide across defense, industrial, civil, rescue, agricultural and logistics applications. The company is privately held and is not listed on a stock exchange. Its engineering heritage — from the Steinbock HX1 hybrid off-road vehicle presented in 2011 to today's ROVO GEN 3 UGV — reflects a consistent focus on real-world, off-road electric mobility rather than purely theoretical engineering.

Mattro Mobility Revolutions GmbH was founded in 2006 in Schwaz, Austria, by vehicle builder Alois Bauer. From the outset, the company focused on real-world applications rather than purely theoretical engineering, driven by a passion for off-road mobility and demanding terrain. Its roots lay in electric vehicle technology, with in-house lithium-ion battery development from the very beginning. Early products such as the Ziesel off-road vehicle and the company's Energy Packs laid the foundation for what would later become a focus on robust UGV platforms and high-performance battery systems. In 2011, Mattro presented the Steinbock HX1, a hybrid off-road vehicle developed for demanding operations such as mountain rescue and infrastructure support. The Steinbock HX1 demonstrated the company's early capability to engineer powerful electric drivetrains. Over the following decade, Mattro accumulated more than ten years of hands-on experience with UGV platforms and customer-specific crawler applications. This field-proven track record became central to its positioning as a reliable engineering partner where reliability is critical. The company's battery technology experience grew to more than 15 years, and its UGV operation experience to over a decade. Today, Mattro develops fully electric Unmanned Ground Vehicles and intelligent battery systems, supporting OEMs and system integrators as a long-term engineering partner. Its current flagship platform, ROVO GEN 3, is an agile, fully electric tracked UGV engineered for off-road use and seamless system integration, designed as a scalable foundation for autonomous and remotely operated applications from prototype to series production. The Crawler platform addresses applications requiring compact dimensions, high payload capacity and stability. Mattro's in-house lithium-ion battery systems, including a swappable 11.4 kWh pack with automotive-grade components and integrated heating for low-temperature missions down to -20°C, provide the energy backbone for these platforms. Mattro describes its systems as built on more than 20 years of electric mobility expertise, with UGV solutions that are field-proven, series-ready and designed to simplify integration. The company operates from Schwaz, Austria, and serves customers worldwide across defense, industrial, civil, rescue, agricultural and logistics applications.
