VIA Acquires Automotive Engineering Company

VIA-motors-Electric-PickupVIA Motors’ CEO John Weber announced that VIA has acquired Prodigy Engineering, an electric vehicle design, engineering and prototyping company.

Prodigy has been under contract with VIA to prototype new vehicle models for the company’s expanding portfolio.

“This acquisition expands VIA’s talent base with a dedicated, talented engineering team to focus on VIA’s product development and vehicle testing,” said Weber. “Mike and Mark Patey will continue to contribute their highly respected engineering talent. This team brings VIA cutting edge engineering solutions for our advanced electric vehicles,” Weber concluded.

“We are inspired by VIA’s transformation of the automotive industry and proud to be part of the team,” said Mike Patey, who co-owns Prodigy Engineering with his brother Mark. “We believe the merger of resources with VIA Motors can deliver innovations and solutions making VIA’s electrified fleet vehicles the gold standard,” concluded Mark Patey.
