The crisis in the transport sector took its toll on Cremsa and, in 1963, its assets were absorbed by Trimosa (Triciclos Motocicletas S.A). Trimosa were also from Manresa where they were based on Pasaje Puigdeberenguer.
Trimosa were already producing mopeds when they took over Cremsa and, from 1965 they produced two lightweight motorcycles: the Trimosa Turismo, an open frame, step‑through machine and the Trimosa Sport, a closed frame bike. They both shared the Hispano Villiers 50cc, air cooled, two stroke engines.
Trimosa improved the Cremsa motocarro designs and introduced revised models – the Rata (Rat) and Toro (Bull) – but they still incorporated the Cremsa name in their sales and advertising. The revised models were of the delta type with a closed, two-seater cabin and a steering wheel instead of handlebars.
The Trimosa Rata, was powered by a Hispano Villiers, single cylinder 6M 197cc, two stroke engine with 4 gears (+ reverse). It was available as a platform or box version.
The Trimosa Toro was a heavier, more powerful motocarro designed for industrial loads and was powered by a Hispano Villiers, 249cc, twin cylinder, two stroke engine with a 15 HP output, a four-speed gearbox (+ reverse). In a variation, the Toro could be fitted with a rear turntable and automatic coupling device to create a small articulated tractor – like the Scammell units used by British Railways in the 1950s and 60s.

Trimosa had an involvement with another Manresa enterprise, TJT Embragues y Accesorios. Talleres Jaime Torras was founded in 1958 by Jaime Torras and his wife Maria Checa and began as a small motorcycle repair workshop, whilst also manufacturing special clutches to improve the mechanics of the time.
From its humble beginnings, TJT expanded and produced mopeds. It is possible that it was TJT that produced both Trimosa machines, but I haven’t been able to establish that as yet.
It is known that Trimosa ceased vehicle manufacturing around 1968, shifting to manufacturing motorcycle components — most notably, TJT clutches.
