OUR MISSION TM4 designs and markets the industry's most efficient, highest power density electrodynamics, conversion, and power control products for electric mobility and electricity generation. We are committed to developing close partnerships with clients, enabling them to minimize their time-to-market, and maximize ROI. We have made it our mission to ensure the seamless integration, cost-effective series production, and rapid deployment of our highly flexible products.
25 years ago a visionary group of researchers set out to transform the world's mobility landscape by literally reinventing the wheel. Their vision for a greener tomorrow would serve as the inspiration behind TM4. That same vision and determination has allowed TM4 to expand and flourish - and today we are proud to be a driving force for sustainable electric mobility and renewable power generation solutions. We have set our sights on success, and continue to make significant progress; so the future looks very bright indeed.
