Investment company Riverstone Energy Ltd on Wednesday became the a ‘lead’ investor in Infinitum Electric's Series D funding.
Riverstone led the investment round in the Texas-based motor company, along with Applied Ventures, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials Inc. This $80 million round brought Infinitum Electric's funding to date to $135 million.

John Staudinger, Riverstone's managing director, added: ‘Decarbonisation across commercial, industrial and consumer markets driven by ESG and the energy transition creates wide scale opportunities for Infinitum Electric's motors to power a new generation of machines with greater performance, and at a fraction of the carbon footprint of traditional motors.’
