Quaife launches the new QBE60G six speed sequential gearbox. Designed as a direct Type 9 replacement fit for the popular Escort market, the unit is an instant success, with Caterham Motorsport and Ginetta Cars adopting it for their one make circuit racing series.’

Quaife designs and manufactures complete transmission unit for Modec electric vehicle, which can carry a two ton payload at up to 50mph and is used by Tesco and UPS as part of their carbon emissions reduction strategy.

Quaife’s ongoing requirement for advanced, large scale robotic machinery and demand from OEM clients prompts a relocation from the Cornwall site to a 23,000 square foot production facility in Gillingham, Kent.

Quaife Engineering is awarded an OEM contract to supply the Ford Motor Company with 5000 ATB differential units for the Mk1 Focus RS. The project involves in depth technical liaison with Ford of Europe, machinery investment and meeting highly challenging quality criteria.
