During the process, TM4 will develop a new drivetrain, an evolution of its Motive series consisting of permanent magnet electric motors and power electronics.
Designed for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles, the systems are turnkey solutions created for electric vehicles.
The new powertrain will be designed and manufactured at TM4’s headquarters in Boucherville, Quebec.
“TM4 is [pleased] to be working with partners recognised for their technological expertise vanguard,” said TM4 COO, Robert Baril.
