Brazilian industry is writing a new page in the history of two-wheeler mobility — and DBS Indústria is a protagonist. With a focus on technology, innovation and operational efficiency, the company has won strategic positions in the sector and overtaken iconic brands such as Suzuki, Harley-Davidson and Kawasaki, consolidating itself as a national powerhouse.
In this article, we explain how DBS became Brazil’s largest electric motorcycle assembler and how this trajectory has placed it among the country’s largest manufacturers, according to Fenabrave data.
The Strength of the Data: What Does Fenabrave Say?
Fenabrave (the National Federation of Motor Vehicle Distribution) is the main source of vehicle registration data in Brazil. DBS’s growth is backed by numbers: Brazil’s largest electric motorcycle assembler in 2024, with a 28.25% market share;
In 2025, in the first two months of the year, DBS reached a 58.07% share of electric motorcycle registrations; in the overall ranking of motorcycle manufacturers (including combustion models), DBS rose from 16th to 11th place nationally, surpassing traditional international brands such as Suzuki and Harley-Davidson.
This advance is even more significant considering that DBS competes with companies that have had a consolidated presence in Brazil for decades — many of them with their own factories and robust distribution networks.
Why Is DBS Growing So Much?
1. National Production in the Heart of Brazil
With its base in the Manaus Industrial Hub, DBS Indústria combines cutting-edge technology with an efficient production chain. This strategic location allows for tax benefits, easier logistics and access to a mature industrial ecosystem.
2. Focus on Electric Mobility — and Much More
Although the initial highlight comes from electric motorcycle production, DBS also works with assembly and manufacturing of various two-wheeled vehicles, serving partners from different segments. This allows market diversification and greater operational solidity.
3. Strategic B2B Partnerships
The company has become the choice of national and international brands seeking quality, agility and innovation in assembly. The trust of these partners further boosts DBS’s reputation as a reliable and scalable supplier.
A New Era for the Two-Wheeler Industry
DBS’s growth is not a one-off — it reflects a structural change in the mobility sector. The search for sustainable, efficient and connected alternatives is shaping the industry’s future. In this context, companies like DBS, with strategic vision and adaptability, gain prominence.
In addition, the growing preference for electric motorcycles is driving a transformation in consumer behavior and in assemblers’ decisions. Being ahead of this trend puts DBS in a privileged position for the coming years.
A Historic Achievement — with Brazilian DNA
Overtaking brands such as Suzuki and Harley-Davidson in the national manufacturer ranking is not just a statistical achievement. It is a symbolic milestone showing that national innovation has the strength and quality to compete (and win) in the global market.
With more than 2,000 motorcycles recently produced, expanding partnerships and constant investment in technology, DBS Indústria consolidates itself as Brazil’s largest electric motorcycle assembler — and one of the most promising companies in the mobility landscape.
