Motorsports Solutions​

The use of technology in a racing environment pushes materials to their absolute physical limits. To achieve peak-performance, profound experience and knowledge of highly specialized techniques are required

From prototype to series production

The development of racing systems represents a balance between technical needs, adaptation to highly dynamic situations, deep understanding of the safety, and economic factors.
 
In the Motorsport environment, we are specialists in power-train and vehicle engineering enterprise dedicated to delivering exceptional value to our clients with innovative engineering solutions. From the genesis of our racing capabilities, which originated in engine-management control systems, our focus has expanded to cover the Electric and hybrid-vehicle sector, Racing Engines, and Racecar design and development.
 
We have demonstrated our capabilities with a proven track record in solving complex engineering challenges for Motorsport projects. Our success can be attributed to our highly skilled and committed workforce, its comprehensive in-house test and development facilities, and our state-of-art design and manufacturing facilities.
