DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING
Made in Barcelona
Since 2012 we have been designing, developing and manufacturing electric vehicles and battery packs with our own technology. Led by founder and CEO Carlos Sotelo, it is the biggest specialist EV manufacturer in Europe. With its headquarters, factory and R&D in Barcelona, Silence has a great team made up of more than 170 people who work to make a dream come true: to improve the quality of life in cities thanks to zero-emission mobility.
RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
Own R&D team
All products are designed and developed at the Silence R&D center, located in Esplugues de Llobregat (Barcelona). A young and passionate team are responsible for all innovative products and services.
Carlos has always been surrounded by two-wheeled vehicles, both professionally and as a hobby. He is so passionate about motorbikes that he has competed in the Paris Dakar rally on several occasions. That is where he discovered the value of time and the peace that comes from the absolute silence of the desert. This is where the brand of electric scooters he created gets its name: Silence
