Sadev transmissions is a 40-year-old France-based company, dedicated to making high end two-wheel and 4-wheel-drive racing transmissions and differentials. However, they also have a hub in Mooresville, North Carolina.

In fact, after 10 years of supplying transmissions to a variety of S1600 and FIA 2000 Rally champion cars, it sealed the deal to supply World Rally Championship cars with its transmissions in 2011.
