PEK Automotive
- Logatec, Slovenia
PEK Automotive develops low-voltage autonomous electric vehicles and platforms for agriculture, rescue operations, defence, and industrial technology, combining research, software, mechanical engineering, electronics, and manufacturing under one roof.
Perfect for
PEK Automotive is best suited for organizations operating in challenging physical environments that need autonomous, electric-powered vehicle platforms or precision prototype manufacturing.
- Vineyard and orchard operators seeking autonomous robots to reduce manual labor, especially on steep terrain
- Defence and civil protection agencies needing uncrewed systems for firefighting, demining, or logistics in hazardous environments
- Companies requiring custom prototype manufacturing with CNC machining, 3D printing, welding, and engineering support for small-batch or single-item production
- Organizations developing unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) that need modular electric drivetrain components, radar sensors, or RTK positioning systems
Considerations
Highly specialized in agriculture, defence, and rescue; not a logistics or ecommerce fulfillment technology provider
Based solely in Logatec, Slovenia, which may limit accessibility for global customers needing local support
No published pricing or standard product catalog; appears to operate on custom project and inquiry basis
Product divisions (Agroline, Civil Defence, IT Tech) are spread across separate websites, making it harder to evaluate the full offering in one place
About PEK Automotive
PEK Automotive is a Slovenian engineering company that designs and manufactures low-voltage autonomous electric platforms for some of the world's most demanding operational environments. The company operates across three focused divisions: Agroline for autonomous agricultural robots serving vineyards and orchards, Civil Defence for uncrewed systems used in firefighting, demining, and logistics, and IT Tech for digital tools and ERP technology. Their flagship agricultural product, the Slopehelper, is an autonomous electric robot capable of year-round operations in vineyards and orchards, including work on steep slopes.
What sets PEK Automotive apart is its vertically integrated approach. Research, software development, mechanical engineering, electronics design, and manufacturing all take place under one roof at their facility in Logatec, Slovenia. This integration enables rapid iteration from concept to prototype to field-ready product. The company has developed a proprietary technology stack including the EV48 Power Drivetrain (described as the world's first ready-to-use 48V on-board electric drivetrain kit), R-Wave 2D MP Radar for all-weather obstacle detection, R-Wave RTK positioning with 10mm accuracy, LiFePO4 battery systems with embedded BMS, and the TeroAir application for real-time mission tracking.
PEK Automotive also offers prototype manufacturing services, providing CNC machining, laser cutting, welding, 3D printing, and engineering support for businesses requiring small-batch production starting from a single item. The company has gained international recognition, with features in publications such as Forbes Slovenia, Bloomberg Adria, New Atlas, and Wine Enthusiast. Notably, PEK Automotive Defence has been accepted into the NATO DIANA 2026 Challenge Programme, selected among 3,600 registered innovators.
