history

Look the divisional brochure (click on the picture to zoom)

Within the TEDOM Holding company, the bus manufacturing group is one TEDOMs key business divisions. This latest successful adition to our product portfolio is historically connected with the TEDOMs acquisition and manufacturing of the LIAZ engines. The LIAZ name has long been synonymous with uncompromising reliability and performance, enjoying a strong market position in the Czech and Slovak Republic bus market. Based on our long term experience of using gas combustion engines in our energetics projects we are continously developing the engine manufacturing. Our goal is to become the leader in the CNG bus market. The current success in this field of business and the growing demand for gas vehicles clearly show us that the chosen way is right.

The tradition of LIAZ engines and the acquisition of the engine factory in Jablonec nad Nisou were the main impetuses for purchasing the licence for the manufacturing of the Neoplan type buses. These buses were produced in the Czech Republic for Italian company Mauri in the past years. Our designers made some necessary modifications for their operation in the Czech Republic and completed the development of the gas engine suitable for this bus. The first TEDOM bus was presented in spring 2004. Since 2007 these buses have been made in a newly-built, modern assembly plant in Třebíč.
