Dr. Christian Becker, manager of the E-Mobility division of TQ Drives, explains the reasons. "For us, the name change is the next logical step of tying our drive or its perceived image to our parent company to a greater degree. TQ stands for ‘Technology and Quality’ and this is precisely what our drive combines. For this reason, we decided to use the power of the umbrella brand name even more." In addition, there are many technical reasons favoring forgoing the previous name. Dr. Becker continued, "The TQ drive system has continued developing in the last two years to an unbelievable degree and can no longer be compared with the original cleanmobile drive."
Even the market has often not been able to comprehend the previous boundary with respect to the TQ Group, says Dr. Becker. "Our clients and the media have been talking about the 'TQ motor' for a long time when they actually meant the 'cleanmobile drive'."
At the Eurobike bicycle fair in Friedrichshafen (31 August - 4 September 2016), the TQ Group will be presenting the newest model of their reference mid-drive motors TQ 120 S (for the sport area) and TQ 120 C (for the cargo bike market) with many changes including new solutions for connectivity and design integration.
