Overview

The Gleasman legacy of pioneering automotive technologies is uniquely American. The patriarch of the family and the driving force behind Torvec's bright future, Vernon Gleasman grew up as a child prodigy. Vernon Gleasman, now in his 92nd year, has earned a position of privelege among the world's most respected automotive engineers and inventors. His experience consists of not only hands-on experience, but industry employment from Bendix to White Motor Truck Co. in both managerial and executive positions. His genius is particularly noteworthy in that his achievements represent practical solutions to everyday challenges, rather than interesting inventions without commercial application.

The genius of Mr. Gleasman's design expertise lies in the breakthrough applications of his designs, and most of the dozens of patents he has been awarded are for products in use today. After seven decades of innovation, the Gleasman legacy is both secure and alive, as the granting of a U.S. patent for his Iso-Torque™ differential on his 92nd birthday attests.
