TOROTRAK REVVING UP

grebo

So according to you it's all over then - it's all too late.

Except, don't you think your opinion is slightly at odds with the facts.

Recently a team of engineers from ZF spent a couple of months at Torotrak carrying out initial evaluation and familiarisation work with IVT. ZF are a very successful supplier of vehicle transmissions, amongst other things. I believe I read last week that the turnover of their transmissions business rose 8% in the previous year - in a falling market. Up to about mid-2001 ZF had dismissed IVT as being too bulky and expensive. (That was before the evaluation by GM, although that may be just a coincidence). Now they have changed their minds.

Likewise earlier this year Aisin, the largest transmission manufacturer in the world, sent a team to Torotrak on a similar exercise.

These companies obviously know more than any of us about the transmissions market and where it is headed, and I am sure that neither would have bothered to waste the time of their engineers if they were not fairly serious about the potential of IVT.

These are just a couple of the undeniable facts which continue to keep me optimistic about Torotrak.
