Research & Development
Bremach brings to market both component part products as well as finished vehicles of various classifications. This engineering and manufacturing work is supported and strengthened by Bremach’s in-house homologation department. (As background, in the United States and Europe, auto makers like Bremach regularly spend tens of millions of dollars to homologate and bring into regulatory compliance a new product and/or vehicle model.)
As an OEM, Bremach self-performs the critical aspects of the business, and, like any other auto maker, works with other firms. The most important Bremach Partners are the Dealers, the conduit to the customer. Additionally, the groups below are among – but not all – the vendor Partners and other firms within the supply chain and development history of the Bremach vehicle lines:
- PUNCH Powerglide – producing the SUV and Pickup 6L50 6-Speed Automatic Transmission with torque converter out of Strasbourg, France (designed by GM, and able to handle 320HP and various V6 and V8 engines)
- Bosch – the primary supplier of the electronics and other advanced systems (eg, braking, stability, and other safety components) used in the SUV and Pickup models
- FEV Group GmbH – engine engineering services and partner to OEMs around the world
- Computer Engineering Center of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University – also offering services to other OEMs such as Audi, BMW and Daimler
- Eaton – providing electronic locking differential for the 4x4 vehicle models
- Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG (Schaeffler Group) – contributing LuK clutch systems, also supplied to VW, GM and others
- IVECO – a legacy supplier of engines for the Bremach vehicle line
- The UAZ Scientific & Technical Center (STC) – offering chassis and other supplier services
- Allison – a legacy transmission supplier of the Bremach vehicle line
- ZF Friedrichshafen AG (ZF Group) – supplying the steering system, and a supplier to Land Rover, Porsche, Jeep and OEMs
- Sollers – offering automotive kits, and a partner to OEMs such as Ford and Mazda
- Hyundai Dymos – a supplier of electric shift transfer (EST) cases (part-time, two-speed T-cases)

As with virtually all vehicles sold and operated in the American and European markets, their development and manufacturing history extends to multiple engineering houses and suppliers from all over the globe. This too is true of Bremach vehicles. This modern model offers efficiency cost savings as well as the ability to secure advanced and proven parts and systems for finished automotive products. And, together with Bremach’s in-house homologation and manufacturing capabilities, customers then receive and enjoy premium vehicles of increasingly strong value and quality.
To better show some of this work, a few development images from different Bremach vehicle lines are shown below, namely: Body-on-frame refinement, cab and frame energy deformation simulations, and digital modeling of running gear.
Bremach has a verifiable record of creating automotive product concepts and bringing them to market. For a review of Bremach’s current – and still largely confidential – vehicle and technology development work, please visit the Other Vehicle Lines page.
