About Orbis Electric
Orbis Electric is headquartered in Santa Rosa, California. The company was founded by Marcus Hays, a U.S. Navy veteran and EV pioneer who set land-speed records on electric motorcycles, along with co-founders Chance Claxton and Scott Streeter. Hays began the venture with a vision to revolutionize electric propulsion through advanced axial-flux permanent-magnet motor technology, drawing on experience from the CALSTART Advanced Transportation Hatchery in Burbank. The company develops axial-flux in-wheel motors (its Ring Drive Wheel) and the COOL•E platform, an intelligent power-recovery system for AI data centers that combines EV-derived drive technology, orchestrated controls, and predictive diagnostics across CDUs, pumps, fans, and chillers. Manufacturing capabilities include additive manufacturing, CNC machining, and casting. Orbis holds 16 issued patents and 40 pending applications, and collaborates with Ames National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory on next-generation magnetic materials such as Cerium Gap and MAGMA technologies. Orbis serves electric mobility (including a four-year validation program with Volkswagen Group in Germany), electric transport refrigeration (eTRU), defense propulsion, and AI data-center infrastructure. Its cooling platforms target megawatt-scale liquid cooling for 800 V DC-native architectures supporting next-generation AI compute, with customers referencing NVIDIA chip roadmaps. The company states it was started to engineer more performance from less — born in electric mobility, proven in demanding applications, and reimagined for AI infrastructure. It positions its automotive- and defense-grade motor technology as a way to reduce cooling overhead, reclaim white space, protect uptime, and lessen dependence on critical mineral supply chains.
