Brixia-Zust (originally Brixia-Züst) was an Italian car manufacturer founded by engineer Roberto Züst, in 1906 owner of Zust company of Milan. The affiliated company was situated in Brescia, Northern Italy. The name Brixia is the antique Latin for Brescia. These companies are often confused. The company made racing cars that participated in Targa Florio, an open road race in Sicily.
The most interesting model was the 10 HP in 1909, propelled by a three-cylinder 1495 cm³ engine. The unique feature was the 10 Hp integral three-cylinder engine with a fixed head and side valves operated by two camshafts in the cylinder block. It was produced until 1911. Car production ended due to financial difficulties in 1912 ( Brixia Züst was the start of what eventually became Officine Meccaniche in 1917). From 1918, when Officine Meccaniche took over the Zust company, the Brescia facilities were used and OM- Fabbrica Bresciana di Automobili in 1928.
