## Engine technology
**Breuer Technical Development (B.T.D.)** is a **service provider** for [drive system development](/engine-development/). Our services include:
- [finding the optimum solutions](/engine-development/concepts/) to your problems
- implementing concepts according to your specifications
## From motor racing to research & development of engines and drive systems
| 1986 | Formation of the family company BREUER TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT ([B.T.D.](/en/)) with its main activity in Belgian [car racing](/competition-engines/) (rallying). |
| --- | --- |
| 1993 | Increase in requests for [development assignments](/engine-development/drawings/) with the obligation of confidentiality from the **automotive industry**. |
