A comprehensive, end-to-end journey for your custom EV spare wheel solutions.
Fortis Drive begins by thoroughly understanding your unique requirements. Our engineering and design teams collaborate closely with you to capture precise specifications, including vehicle models, optimal weight targets for EV range, compact storage dimensions, and critical load requirements. This ensures a comprehensive design brief ready for manufacturing a perfectly integrated spare wheel.
Leveraging our extensive network, Fortis Drive meticulously identifies and vets top Chinese manufacturers specialized in EV spare wheel production and assembly. We select only ISO 9001, TUV, and automotive certified facilities, ensuring direct access to the best capabilities for your custom EV spare wheels.
We oversee the production of initial spare wheel prototypes by the selected manufacturers. These prototypes undergo extensive testing including load bearing, impact resistance, fitment verification within the designated spare well, and dynamic balancing. This ensures they surpass all performance requirements and relevant automotive safety standards for emergency use. Your final approval is facilitated by Fortis Drive.
Upon prototype approval, Fortis Drive takes charge of full-scale production at the Chinese manufacturing facilities. We ensure that manufacturing schedules are met, resources are optimally utilized, and all production lines adhere to agreed-upon specifications and efficiency standards for consistent spare wheel quality.
This critical phase embodies our commitment to uncompromising quality. We implement The Fortis Standard, our rigorous, multi-stage quality control protocol. This includes raw material verification, in-process inspections at critical production stages, and final product quality checks before shipment, resulting in an industry leading 99.8% quality rate.
Fortis Drive manages the entire supply chain from the Chinese factories directly to your chosen destination. This includes coordinating secure packaging with protective covers for the spare wheels, consolidating international freight, handling all customs clearance procedures, and ensuring real-time tracking. Our logistics team guarantees transparent communication and timely delivery for a complete, ready-to-install solution.

At Fortis Drive, we understand the critical need for electric vehicles to stay on the road. Our Custom EV Spare Wheels are essential emergency solutions, precisely engineered to provide quick readiness and protect against unexpected delays.
Common questions about sourcing EV spare wheels from Chinese manufacturers
China dominates global EV component manufacturing, producing 75% of the world's lithium-ion batteries and controlling the majority of EV supply chains. Here's why Chinese sourcing delivers superior results:
Speed Advantage:
Chinese suppliers can modify EV wheels "in a couple of months" vs "three to four years" for Western suppliers (industry observer quote)
Direct access to raw materials and manufacturing facilities
No middleman delays – we source directly from certified manufacturers.
Quality at Scale:
China produces 70% of global EV components, ensuring specialized expertise Our suppliers serve major brands like Tesla, BMW, and Ford with OEM-quality standards
Advanced manufacturing processes unavailable in smaller local facilities.
Cost Efficiency:
25-40% cost savings compared to local OEM alternatives
Volume production capabilities reduce per-unit costs
Comprehensive quality testing without premium pricing.
Supply Chain Reality: Local suppliers often depend on Chinese components anyway, adding unnecessary markup and delays. By sourcing directly, you get faster delivery and better pricing.
Our wheels undergo rigorous testing that exceeds both Chinese GB standards and international safety requirements:
Manufacturing Certifications:
ISO 9001: 2015 certified facilities with real-time quality monitoring
DOT (Department of Transportation) compliance for US markets
