OMT
This small Turin firm was set up in November 1907 with its headquarters in via Borgone on the corner of via Frejus. Its purpose was to continue to build Peugeot’s under licence which up to then had been assembled by the company Peugeot-Croizat, now wound up. The company was called Officine Meccaniche Torinesi & Brevetti Peugeot. Management was taken on by Cesare Goria-Gatti (one of the founders of Fiat) who was already a member of the Peugeot-Croizat board of directors.
In addition to giving new impetus to the assembly of Peugeot cars and commercial vehicles, the company undertook a study for the development of a small car which would go into production in 1911 under the name of Victrix. It was a single-cylinder, cardan transmission vehicle of 695 cc whose wheeled chassis cost 2,500 lire. Construction continued until 1913 when the company was put into liquidation. The only existing Victrix is kept in this Museum.
