Navitas Vehicle Systems is a Waterloo company that manufactures electric drivetrains, electric motors and related electrification systems for low-speed and light-industrial vehicles.
Operating context
Navitas Vehicle Systems in Waterloo supplies motor-control and electrification products for low-speed and light-industrial vehicles. Its TAC2 AC controller family offers programmable torque and speed, regenerative braking and current/thermal protection; module selection determines current rating and communications options. TSX3.0 serves separately excited DC motors at 36–48 V, with a 600 A rating, regenerative braking and contactorless reversing. These products require a compatible motor, harness, software settings and vehicle-level integration. Their IP65 controller rating is not complete-vehicle certification. FedDev Ontario announced C$750,000 toward a C$2.56 million manufacturing, innovation, workforce and market-expansion project in July 2026. This supports capacity development; it does not establish a defence fleet order.
Canadian footprint
Navitas Vehicle Systems has a documented Canadian operating presence in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Its public organization and capability evidence should be read at that location and national scope only where the cited sources explicitly support it.
Waterloo, Ontario is the published city-level context for Navitas Vehicle Systems. It does not imply a street address or exact facility location.
Navitas supplies AC and DC motor controllers and electrification packages for low-speed and light-industrial vehicles. TAC2 serves AC induction motors; TSX3.0 serves separately excited DC motors. Vehicle compatibility, calibration and qualification remain integration-specific.
