Company            BRUSA ISO9001 Certificate
Deutsch | English
  2008 ISO 9001 quality certificate is successfully renewed, valid until 2011.
  2007

The next renovation stage brings an increase of further 600 m2 manufacturing area. We can take it into operation in August. This brings us in the position to manufacture high quantities.

The staff of BRUSA Elektronik AG exceeds for the first time 30 employees.

  2005 BRUSA Elektronik AG looks back on 20 years of success.
  2003 BRUSA Elektronik AG is considerably involved in the concept design of the Coaster. Our tasks are, among others: Energy management, drive system layout, safety and autonomous driving concept. We also develope and provide the high torque drive system and the battery charging technology.
  2002 We are moving into a new building in Sennwald. 30 work places are created for development department and 10 places for customer care and small series production. If required, another 2000m2 of the work space is at our disposal.
    BRUSA Elektronik AG receives ISO 9001 quality certificate.
    The privately held BRUSA Elektronik company is converted to the
BRUSA Elektronik AG corporation.
Main goal is to allow more flexibility for employees to participate and invest into company's business.
  2001 BRUSA Elektronik buys a new factory building - a former spinning mill house. For start, we have expanded to about 40 work places.
  1998 BRUSA Elektronik develops a 60 kW DC-DC converter which is primarily intended to be used in fuel cell electric vehicles.
  1997 BRUSA expands with a new building and thus makes available 10 additional workplaces. Now we mainly focus on research and development for the automotive industry.
    The first compact drive systems are sold. Our company-owned electric vehicle covered without any problems over 90,000 km during 1997 - 2002 time periode. The original NiCd battery pack still works fine and doesn’t show any signs of fatigue.
  1992-1995 Some new products are developed. Among them is a high efficiency microprocessor controlled battery charger. The induction motor control unit now delivers more power (up to 34kW at 180V DC), and is now also controlled by a microprocessor.
  1991 Andy Kruspan, a certified engineer from Technical College of Biel, enters the company. Andy is the specialist for AC- and DC-motors and other aspects in the power electronics. (He won between 1988 and 2002 16 prices at different EV races.)
  1990 Arno Mathoy, a certified engineer from the Technical University of Graz, Austria, joins us in the team and develops among other things a high efficient maximum power tracker with a 99% degree of efficiency.
  1988 Axel Krause left Landis & Gyr and changed to BRUSA. An induction motor control unit with a very high degree of efficiency and power is developed. We are starting at a peak power of 12kw at 120V.
  1987 Axel Krause, a certified physicist of ETH Zurich, developed a special induction motor and won the Tour de Sol up to Arosa. This smoothed the way for the asynchronous motors for electrically operated vehicles.
  1985 BRUSA Elektronik was founded. It was the first year of Tour de Sol. The company was set up with the goal to develop components exclusively for solar- and electric vehicles and solar energy systems. Today’s electric vehicles scene finds its origin in the Tour de Sol, which was founded in 1985 as an advertising medium for utilization of thermic solar energy (warm water with solar energy). Warm water isn’t very spectacular. Therefore the organizers tried to demonstrate by means of moving electric vehicles what someone can do by using solar energy. As a side effect they recognized that the vehicles worked better than expected! From that year on Tour de Sol took place ten more times.
