Dok-Ing Automotiv
The automotive division was formed upon the introduction of the electric car Dok-Ing XD in 2010.{{cite web|url=http://dok-ing.hr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=66&Itemid=144&lang=en |title=Electric car XD - DOK-ING |publisher=Dok-ing.hr |date= |accessdate=2010-11-28}} The car remained in prototype phase and never formally entered serial production, although one unit was sold to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Zagreb.
In 2015, it produced two electric buses for the city of Koprivnica, as a part of the European project Civitas Dyn@mo.{{Cite web|url=http://koprivnica.hr/novosti/predstavljeni-elektricni-autobusi/|title=Predstavljeni električni autobusi|date=15 July 2015}} In the following year, it unveiled a multifunctional communal vehicle TOM TOM, which received awards from various international fairs.{{Cite web|url=http://dnevnik.hr/vijesti/hrvatska/hrvatska-pamet-osvojila-svijet-ove-su-hrvatske-inovacije-pomele-kunkurenciju---460421.html|title = HRVATSKA PAMET OSVOJILA SVIJET Inovacije koje su pomele kunkurenciju}} During the same year, it launched a serial production of electric scooters under the name "Core",{{Cite web|url=https://lider.media/kategorije/aktualno/tvrtke-i-trzista/poslovna-scena/dok-ing-stvara-svoje-elektricne-skutere/|title = Dok-Ing stvara svoje električne skutere|date = 12 July 2015}} with 800 of them already exported to Spain, Mexico, France, Italy and Malta in 2017.{{Cite web|url=http://www.poslovni.hr/poduzetnik/veliki-uspjeh-hrvatske-tvrtke-inovativne-elektricne-skutere-izvoze-po-cijelom-svijetu-324970|title=Veliki uspjeh hrvatske tvrtke: Inovativne električne skutere izvoze po cijelom svijetu}} The batteries are produced by Dok-Ing.{{Cite web|url=https://www.jutarnji.hr/vijesti/hrvatska/kako-zagrebacki-dok-ing-stvara-cestovnu-flotu-buducnosti-tvrtka-koja-je-stvorila-prvi-domaci-automobil-pogonjen-elektricnom-energijom-ima-nove-adute/6512533/|title=Jutarnji list - KAKO ZAGREBAČKI DOK-ING STVARA CESTOVNU FLOTU BUDUĆNOSTI Tvrtka koja je stvorila prvi domaći automobil pogonjen električnom energijom ima nove adute|date=2 September 2017}} The company also launched a series of electric bikes called "Leo".
In 2017, it announced a new model of electric car, under the working name of YD, expected to have a range of 300–400 km.{{Cite web|url=http://www.poslovni.hr/hrvatska/dok-ing-u-tajnosti-razvio-paletu-elektricnih-vozila-328882|title=Dok-Ing u tajnosti razvio paletu električnih vozila}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.24sata.hr/tech/novi-hrvatski-elektricni-auto-krece-u-serijsku-proizvodnju-515033|title = Novi hrvatski električni auto kreće u serijsku proizvodnju| date=9 March 2017 }}
In 2019, the division was sold and excluded from DOK-ING during restructuring of the overall company. DOK-ING Automotiv began operating under a new name afterwards.{{cite web |title=Gordan Maček preuzeo tvrtku Dok-Ing Automotive od Vjekoslava Majetića |url=https://lidermedia.hr/aktualno/gordan-macek-preuzeo-tvrtku-dok-ing-automotive-od-vjekoslava-majetica-37181 |website=LiderMedia |date=25 March 2019 |access-date=20 August 2023}}
