British EV Firm Electrogenic Acquires TREMEC Electric GT to Expand US Base
Huntington Beach, Monday, 10 August 2026.
Electrogenic has acquired California-based TREMEC Electric GT, establishing a permanent Huntington Beach base to pair its proprietary software with TREMEC’s hardware for North American electric vehicle conversions.
Strategic Acquisition Announced
British electric vehicle technology firm Electrogenic announced the acquisition of the TREMEC Electric GT business on August 10, 2026 [1][4]. This strategic move establishes a permanent physical footprint for the company in Huntington Beach, California [1]. The expansion aims to bring Electrogenic’s proprietary EV powertrain technology directly to its growing North American automotive customer base [1]. The acquisition effectively gives Electrogenic a new technical center of expertise on the USA West Coast to complement its headquarters in Oxford, UK [2][4]. This development marks a significant step in the company’s US expansion strategy, providing a strategic base in California as part of an ongoing software-defined vehicle (SDV) software development program [1][4].
Integrating Powertrain Expertise
TREMEC Electric GT, founded in 2014, specializes in EV powertrain systems design, integration, and e-Crate swap systems for low-volume manufacturers and the aftermarket conversion sector [1][2]. Prior to the acquisition, TREMEC Electric GT’s growth was constrained by a need for advanced vehicle software and control systems, which Electrogenic’s technology provides [3]. Electrogenic specializes in proprietary EV technology, including bespoke builds, drop-in conversion kits, and turn-key electric powertrains for manufacturers and defense applications [4]. The company’s engineering process avoids vehicle body modification, utilizing proprietary high-density battery pack systems and compact in-line or transverse reduction gearboxes manufactured in the UK [4]. By integrating Electrogenic’s control technology, including vehicle control software and microprocessor design, into TREMEC Electric GT’s powertrain offerings, the companies address previous constraints regarding software sophistication [2].
Expanding North American Operations
Electrogenic intends to use the new Huntington Beach technical center to accelerate new product development, extend manufacturing options, and enhance service offerings for North American customers [1]. The move is intended to give Electrogenic’s existing network of North American partner-installers local technical support on Pacific Time in addition to GMT [3]. Existing international network partner installers cover vehicles such as the Land Rover Defender, Series Land Rovers, Porsche 911, Jaguar E-Type, and DeLorean DMC-12 [2]. Steve Drummond, CEO of Electrogenic, stated that the USA is their most important market and they wanted to provide additional support to U.S. partners [1][4]. Drummond noted that the acquisition seemed a natural evolution for both TREMEC, Electrogenic, and the Huntington Beach team [2][4].
Future Collaborations and Outlook
Electrogenic and TREMEC intend to continue exploring mutual opportunities in advanced manufacturing and technology [1][3]. Electrogenic’s US operations are expected to expand further, though no specific deadlines were provided for future integration milestones [3][4]. The collaboration aims to accelerate new products and further elevate the service offering for new and existing customers across North America [1]. Drummond remarked that the Huntington Beach specialists get lots of new tech toys to play with as part of the integration [2][4]. Stakeholders are advised to watch for more exciting announcements as US operations continue to grow [4].
