Light vehicles
Compact and scalable
Dana TM4 e-motors and inverters for light vehicles are scalable solutions optimized for:
- Passenger cars
- Light-duty commercial vehicles
- Auto-rickshaws
- Golf cars
- 3-wheelers
Our systems are a cost-effective solution to vehicle electrification, designed and optimized for components to operate at the highest efficiency while getting the best performance out of the package.
Passenger cars / Light-duty commercial
The TM4 MOTIVE motor and inverter are an integrated system featuring high-RPM permanent magnet electric motors, power-dense electronic inverters, and advanced controls that enable electric vehicles to meet the highest standards for efficiency, reliability, and performance.
These systems are a cost-effective solution to vehicle electrification, designed and optimized for components to operate at the highest efficiency while getting the best performance out of the package.
Auto-rickshaw
Electric auto-rickshaws are becoming increasingly popular in Asian markets. They not only offer environmental benefits but also social advantages, providing a low-cost solution for people finding it difficult to access their own transport.
Generally manufactured in India and China, our Asian presence allow us to supply this growing market.
Golf cars
Electric motor technology has come a long way since the first custom-made golf car was manufactured in 1932. Although there have been petrol variants since then, electric power has long been the preferred choice.
We work with some of the biggest names in golf car manufacturing, delivering reliability at high-volume.
Our IPM motor with its patented advanced technology will achieve greater efficiency through increased battery life, meaning you can go further on a single charge.

Construction vehicles
Cost-effective motors and inverters
Dana TM4 voltage motor and inverters provide optimum performance for multiple construction applications including:
- Aerial work platforms
- Boom lifts
- Scissor lifts
- Wheel loaders
- Wheeled excavators
At your side for the whole journey
Our teams work closely with OEMs to understand if their application is best suited to a fully electric or hybrid solution, and support them from prototype and concept stage right through to high-volume production.
Aerial work platforms
Our low-voltage motors are put through stringent quality checks to ensure greater reliability, resulting in fewer scheduled services and downtime.
Our motors, paired with a range of Dana transmissions offer a best-in-class traction solution. An electric motor can also be used to power hydraulics. With no chains, cables or rollers to adjust, operating costs are significantly reduced.
Excavators
The electric excavator has been heralded as a major breakthrough in the construction industry because it can be used in environments where traditional diesel machines are not allowed to operate, providing greater flexibility and productivity.
Our low-voltage motors are compact and modular, enabling OEMs to design smaller and narrower vehicle profiles for use inside buildings and tunnelling.
Telehandlers
Telehandlers are relative newcomers to the electrification market, with many vehicles still in the prototype and concept phase.
As part of Dana Incorporated, we can provide a complete solution where our motors work seamlessly with Dana electrified axles, pumps and torque hubs.
