What is "tedom"

TEDOM a.s is a Czech engineering company. It was founded in 1991 in Třebíč by Josef Jeleček. Over time it grew to include companions Vlastimil Vildman, Richard and Jiří Horký Kalista.

Originally, the company was an s.r.o. In 1994 it became a holding and in 2010 it transformed into TEDOM a.s.

The company name originated as a portmanteau of word "warm of home" (in Czech "teplo domova"). Its activity is the development and production of cogeneration units with gas combustion engines. Its portfolio has grown over time. In 2013 TEDOM also produced trigeneration units, heat pumps with internal combustion engines and gas engines, all of its own design.

Between 2004 and 2012 TEDOM produced buses and from 2006 to 2008, trucks. The company also supplied engines for railway locomotives of the 810 series to motor unit 814. By 2008, it produced and delivered electricity and thermal energy for Prague.
