PTP started life in the early 1990’s as Universal Vehicle Contracts Ltd, providing a logistical service to Rover Group’s Power Train Division. In 1995 UVC Ltd signed an exclusive contract to supply existing Rover Group OE customers, and to develop this business both in the UK and overseas with power train major units, engines, transmissions, gearboxes, axles and associated components, materials and fitting kits. Power Train Projects – or PTP as we are now known, was born. 

By 2000 PTP were supplying over 3000 major units to such significant customers as Lotus, Morgan, TVR, Caterham, Westfield, Rover sport and a host of other manufacturers – mainly, but not exclusively, in the OE automotive sector. Their capabilities have over this period been expanded and enhanced and they now undertake original engineering and product development, design and manufacturing activities from their site in Hinckley, as well as developing their substantial Performance business. The range of projects they have worked on are numerous, here are some examples that you may recognise:

Partnerships

As well as extending their own skills range and expertise, they have always recognised the value of creating partnerships with suppliers to ensure their ‘quality first’ philosophy was underpinned. Close and productive associations have been established over the years with reputable organisations such as ITG, Janspeed, Titan Motorsport, John Wilcox Competition Engines, Zeus and Dover Corporation.

 

All this has enabled them to deliver robust and reliable product through planned design and development stages with exhaustive validation and testing disciplines. Usually these later stages have included using race circuits and race drivers, adding ‘real world’ testing to virtual and simulated regimes. 

They also have a busy state of the art engineering workshop, which is used for Performance upgrade installation, predominantly for Lotus Elise, Caterham and MG Rover cars, servicing, MOT's and prototyping. They are also LPGA approved gas installers for Prins VSI and Nicholson Mclaren AG Autogas Systems, which is an ever increasing part of their business. These systems are fitted to a wide range of vehicles. 

Their team are dedicated to continuous improvement and growth to support our growing client base. Evolution of product, and meeting and exceeding their customers expectations are the key element to the success and growth of the company and will continue to be so. They operate a Quality Management System which meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2000.
