What Olsbergs MSE does

Olsbergs MSE (OMSE) is a privately held Swedish motorsport engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Nynäshamn, Sweden, founded in 2005 by Andreas Eriksson as Motor Sport Evolution and rebranded in 2009 following an alliance with hydraulic company Olsbergs. The company designs, fabricates, and sells purpose-built rallycross vehicles, parts, and sustainable racing fuels, serving professional racing teams, privateer competitors, hillclimb drivers, and championship organizers across Europe and North America. Its product portfolio centers on the proprietary FC platform family (FC1 electric, FC2 fossil-fuel-free, FC3/RX2e electric, FC4/Supercar Lites, FC5), alongside legacy combustion platforms based on Ford Fiesta Mk6/Mk7/Mk8, Honda Civic, and Dodge Dart chassis, plus OEM parts, used vehicle sales, and Swedish distribution of ETS Renewablaze BIO 100 racing fuel.

OMSE operates a fully vertically integrated model with in-house design, CNC fabrication, and assembly, producing limited-volume specialty vehicles for FIA-sanctioned and commercial championships including Nitrocross, FIA RX2e, RallyX, World RX, and the Race of Champions. The business model is sales-led and direct, with quote-based vehicle pricing, regional sales contacts in Europe and North America, and parts distribution via dedicated email channels. Distribution is handled through wholly owned subsidiary FirstCorner LLC in Salisbury, North Carolina (US sales and service for FC1/FC2) and RX Promotion AB in Stockholm (RallyX championship promotion). Strategic partnerships include co-development with QEV Technologies for the FC3/RX2e electric powertrain, OEM relationships with Honda America/HPD, and supplier relationships with Kempower (EV charging) and P1/ETS Racing Fuels for sustainable propulsion inputs.

The company is family-controlled by the Eriksson family, with founder Andreas Eriksson as CEO and sons Kevin (Team Manager) and Oliver (RallyX FC2 driver) in operational roles, alongside Technical Director Stefan Johansson and Creative Director Peter Hellman Strand. OMSE maintains an active racing team (TEAM OMSE, established 2021 as a separate entity), and historical competitive results include three US Global Rallycross Championships (2011-2013), six FIA World RX victories (2014-2018), the inaugural World RX Team Championship (2014), and 19 X-Games medals. Across all platforms, the company has built over 120 vehicles since founding, with no disclosed external institutional investment or parent ownership.
