TREMEC is a leading manufacturer of high-performance, highly engineered propulsion and driveline systems, subsystems, and componentry supporting conventional, hybrid, and fully electrified vehicles. TREMEC is agile and vertically integrated focusing on niche and moderate-volume applications across abroad spectrum of sectors including passenger car, commercial truck, vocational truck, off-highway heavy-duty, off-road recreational, recreational marine, military, and stationary industrial.
With a rich history rooted in powering some of Detroit’s greatest performance applications like the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Charger/ Challenger as well as growing focus on European exotics like the Maserati MC20, TREMEC remains a full-service supplier of choice offering highly tailored products and a fully integrated mindset. TREMEC is recognized for its advanced drivetrain engineering, calibration and controls integration, functional safety and vehicle cybersecurity capability,and mechatronics expertise. The company truly offers product ownership from start to finish including conceptualization, design and simulation, prototyping and bench testing, vehicle integration and calibration, and serial production. This strong commitment to complete ownership of product creation, especially for lower-volume applications, sets TREMEC apart.
The company is leveraging its deep driveline and powertrain expertise to develop electric drive units (EDUs) and hybridized evolutions of existing products, like the TR-9070 and 9080 dual-clutch transmissions. TREMEC EDU’s offer class-leading power density and thermal stability. For example, the dual motor TR-DC6000 single-axle EDU with Silicon Carbide inverters is capable of 600+kW (800+hp) with a focus on intense peak power. TREMEC’s adoption of a 800-volt default electrical architecture offers several significant benefits: more efficient power delivery to electric motors, improved acceleration, more efficient regenerative braking, and consistent maximum power output even under the most demanding conditions.
TREMEC’s historic support for the aftermarket continues through application of the same innovative mindset. Through TREMEC’s Electric GT brand, entire plug-and-play electric retro fit systems are available to modernize an array of classic cars with ultra-high-performance driveline solutions. The recently announced TREMEC TKe, an electric motor and gearbox combination formatted to fit in place of a classic rear-wheel-drive automatic or manual transmission, takes the “drop-in” retrofit solution to the next level.
TREMEC’s global footprint includes more than 1,450 employees across Mexico, the United States, and Belgium. Manufacturing facilities in Queretaro and Pedro Escobedo, Mexico are vertically integrated with raw material forming capabilities like forging and heat treatment, as well as finishing processes, like machining and grinding, up to complex assembly and end-of-line testing. Its primary U.S. operations, in Novi, Michigan, focuses on complex assembly, customer support, application engineering, and commercial sales all in the heart of the domestic automotive industry.
Research and development are concentrated in Zedelgem, Belgium, benefitting from the region’s rich intellectual capital, with an additional electrification-focused facility in Huntington Beach, California. TREMEC operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of KUO Group, a diversified Mexican conglomerate based in Mexico City. KUO provides TREMEC with the scale and stability of a larger player while allowing the company to focus on providing advanced and novel torque-transfer solutions.
TREMEC’s success is built on its commitment to providing customer value through robust, high-performance, and wholistic product solutions. The company has evolved from its origins as a manual transmission manufacturer to become a global powerhouse of drivetrain technology. Its commitment to innovation, quality, and adaptability to market trends continues to strengthen TREMEC’s position for continued success in the ever-changing transportation and industrial landscapes.
