Did research on this company quite a while ago, so this may not be fully accurate now. Back then, it was a Saint Petersburg based. In my opinion, most likely state subsidized. On its own SHERP, is just a commercial substitute for homemade vehicles popular in the Northern Russia going back to ‘60s. The company model hinges on a patent of one or more critical components (wheels, drivetrain,..). That model failed for its predecessors, see link below. It is hard to google, but there a bunch of research papers and open source designs (from 80s, 90s) for all kinds of wacky 3, 4, 6-wheelers. The last patents related to these expired in early 00. Newer patents are all from the SHERP guys. The older patents are from a bunch of other companies that failed before Sherp. For instance, one below was made by SMZ in ‘94, (sub)contractor for the military that produces parts for nuclear submarines and what not. https://pnevmohod.ru/forum/index.php?topic=3956.2180 https://pnevmohod.ru/forum/index.php?topic=3956.2180 (Now nicknamed Elon’s cyber truck)
