NEV Thermal Leadership Highly Marelli specializes in new energy vehicle compressor technology and integrated cabin comfort systems, and recently unveiled lightweight, integrated solutions for next generation EVs at Auto Shanghai 2025. This positions the company as a strategic partner for OEMs seeking advanced NEV thermal management and compact HVAC modules. The Shelbyville facility can serve as a North American base to scale collaboration with global automakers and Tier 1 suppliers.

US Expansion Potential With 51 to 200 employees in the United States and a broader Marelli network, Highly Marelli USA is well placed to support North American EV programs. There is a clear opportunity to pitch integrated compressor and HVAC solutions to US OEMs as they electrify powertrains. Local manufacturing or assembly in Tennessee could reduce logistics costs and accelerate program cadence.

Global Partner Synergy Taking advantage of Marelli's global market expertise creates cross sell opportunities to pair Highly Marelli compressor based solutions with Marelli cabin comfort and EV thermal system offerings across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Target existing Marelli customers and global platforms requiring scalable supply chain and consistent quality.

Sustainability & R&D Emphasize sustainability and efficiency as core differentiators. The focus on lightweight integrated solutions supports emissions reduction and EV performance, aligning with OEMs pursuit of sustainable total cost of ownership. Opportunities exist for joint R&D in next generation heat pumps and controls for HVAC systems.

Global Footprint & Ops Even as a mid sized US operation, the company benefits from a global footprint of thousands of employees and dozens of plants and R&D centers worldwide. This enables scalable production, regional support, and resilient supply chains for multi region programs. Use digital tools and project management capabilities to demonstrate readiness for large scale OEM engagements.
