Development and production

The development and implementation team of experts works on the design and production of reliable modern motors for mobile and stationary use.

Our own development department, equipped with state-of-the-art technology for measuring the technical parameters of engines, including the reduction of harmful emissions in exhaust gases, is working intensively on the short-term and long-term goals of TEDOM Engines. In particular, it is a matter of achieving an increase in engine efficiency and the production of lower values of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases with regard to current and future legislative limits.

Meeting the increasingly stringent criteria, especially emissions and economics, is also the reason why the development of engines deals with the possibilities of using alternative fuels from renewable energy sources.

Production takes place on modern CNC machine tools. The machinery and work procedures are continuously modernized.

TEDOM Engines has implemented a certified quality management system in accordance with the requirements of the European standard ISO_9001_CZ EN ISO 9001: 2015.
