Discover Omni / British engineering

Designed to be
different.

An ambitious approach to mobility. Designed, manufactured and hand-assembled in the UK.

The machined aluminium Omni chassis

Omni was engineered with the Advanced Manufacturing and Research Centre at the University of Sheffield, refined into pre-production by Supacat Group, experts in military off-road vehicle design, and brought to manufacture with GSD Technologies, precision engineers for the marine, medical and aerospace industries.

Every component was scrutinised across 12 pre-production devices before the first production run of 25.
