Their shared mission: preserve the integrity of iconic British cars while introducing the benefits of cutting-edge electric propulsion.

During a facility tour, visitors can observe first-hand the meticulous attention devoted to every curve, stitch, and weld.
From Shell to Showstopper: The RBW Build Process
The creation of every RBW electric vehicle starts with a brand new heritage body shell from the original tooling, hand-crafted by British Motor Heritage . Once the structure is painted and perfected, the British EV engineering team steps in with the latest technology.
Battery modules and electric drive units are integrated discreetly, ensuring both robust reliability and sympathetic aesthetics. The result is a seamless blend: factory-fresh, hand-crafted electric vehicles that honour the past while facing the future.
Finishing touches, from hand-stitched seats to sustainable wood or leather trims, reflect RBW’s unwavering commitment to British quality and responsible production.
