What this tells a buyer
The import mix is 92% automotive parts (HS chapter 87, 5,265 shipments) rather than mixed goods, the customs signature of a company importing finished driveline components for a dedicated CV-axle brand.
Ningbo Wonh Industries, the group's own manufacturer, accounts for about 90% of shipments, but the supply base is measurably diversifying: a new Vietnam plant announced in 2025 already shows 300-plus shipments, most in the trailing year.
Container volume is trending up, not down: average TEU per month runs near 307 over the trailing year against about 251 across three years, with sourcing now spread across China, Vietnam, Italy, and Turkey.

What TrakMotive makes
Advanced Innovative Technology Corp., which trades as TrakMotive, is an automotive aftermarket brand built around one product it is best known for and a portfolio it has grown around that core. The company designs and supplies 100 percent brand-new CV axles for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks, sold across several tiers: New Premium, the ultra-premium Black Line range, EV CV axles for electric drivetrains, the Monobloc Tube design, Xtended Travel (XTT) axles for lifted and modified vehicles, and HD Xtreme (HDX) heavy-duty axles. The certified range runs past 9,700 CV axle SKUs across the United States, Europe, and Mexico.
Beyond axles, TrakMotive supplies drive shaft assemblies, intermediate shafts and support bearings, ATV/UTV CV axles for powersports, window regulators, and steering knuckles. The company describes its aim as becoming a full undercar solutions source rather than a single-category axle supplier, and positions its parts as OEM-specified in fit, form, and function for the aftermarket. TrakMotive sells only through the trade, not direct to consumers, and reaches technicians through large automotive distributors and retailers.
Ownership and history
TrakMotive is the operating brand of Advanced Innovative Technology Corp., part of the WONH Global Industries group. Robert Zhu, Chairman and CEO of WONH Global Industries, serves as the group's Global CEO, and the company's products are manufactured by Wonh Industries, a Ningbo, China manufacturer that also serves as the group's China corporate office. The TrakMotive brand identity was launched in 2023 over an aftermarket operation that Apollo dates to 2006, and the company's own record notes a leadership continuity that runs back at least to a 2018 change of president at its US arm.
The company is headquartered in Redlands, California, where it runs its corporate office and West Coast distribution center. It operates a Canadian distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario under A.I.T. Automotive Canada Inc., and a European sales and distribution office in Troisdorf, Germany under TrakMotive Europe GmbH. In February 2025 the company announced a new manufacturing facility in Vietnam, with Phase 1 production beginning that year and a Phase 2 to follow, a move it framed around shorter lead times and supply-chain resiliency. That Vietnam investment shows up directly in the customs record, discussed below.
Certifications and quality
TrakMotive states that its products are manufactured in facilities certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and TS 16949 (the automotive quality-management standard now maintained as IATF 16949). Its aftermarket program follows the fit, form, and function discipline OEM suppliers know from the production part approval process. In July 2026 the company announced that its complete global CV axle product range had achieved TUV certification, an independent third-party verification of product quality, testing, and manufacturing processes. TrakMotive says the certification covers more than 9,700 CV axle SKUs (over 3,700 for the United States, over 1,900 for Europe, and over 4,000 for Mexico), and that it includes ongoing annual surveillance audits and periodic product testing to maintain compliance. These are the company's own and its certifiers' claims, presented here as claims.
Known customers
TrakMotive does not publish a named customer list, which is normal for an aftermarket parts brand that sells through distribution. The company states that its OE-specified replacement axle program is sold by the industry's largest automotive distributors and retailers across North America, and that it serves repair shops, technicians, and counter professionals rather than end consumers. Because those relationships run through wholesale channels rather than published OEM programs, this profile does not assign specific documented customers. What the public record does show is the shape of TrakMotive's own supply base, covered next.
Sourcing evidence
TrakMotive's US import record reads the way an axle brand's should. Bill-of-lading data records 5,688 US sea shipments to the company since January 2015, with the most recent on September 20, 2026, and cumulative ocean shipping spend estimated in the range of $28.8M. The shipment mix is dominated by automotive parts: HS chapter 87 accounts for 5,265 of those shipments, the customs signature of a company importing finished driveline components rather than a scatter of unrelated goods.
The supply base is concentrated but visibly diversifying. Ningbo Wonh Industries, the group's own manufacturer, accounts for roughly 90 percent of shipments (about 5,122), which fits a brand whose parts are made by an affiliated plant. The clearest recent shift is Vietnam: Vietnam Four Season Machinery has moved from a standing start to more than 300 shipments, most of them in the trailing year, matching the company's 2025 Vietnam facility announcement almost shipment for shipment. Italy's Transmatic and several Turkish suppliers (Lim Otomotiv, Konsan, SSP Otomotiv) round out a supply base that now spans China, Vietnam, Italy, and Turkey. Container volume has trended up rather than down: average TEU per month runs near 307 over the trailing year against about 251 across three years, a real sign of nearshoring and multi-country sourcing in motion rather than a business contracting.
A few caveats apply to any read of customs data. These are US ocean-freight records only, so air, truck, and rail movement and most cross-border flows do not appear; some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers; and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. Cost figures are order-of-magnitude estimates, not audited numbers. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence. For buyers weighing supplier tiers and tariff exposure in the driveline aftermarket, the pattern here is a China-anchored program actively spreading risk into Vietnam and Europe.
