About Tembo

Our Story

origin

We were founded in 1969 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, a city renowned for engineering, innovation and creativity, the home of DAF Trucks, Phillips Electrical Systems and many technology start ups.
In 2015 we launched our first 4x4 electric vehicle conversion using the Landcruiser as a prototype. We subsequently focussed on delivering converted Landcruisers to the mining sector.

Expansion

In 2020, we were acquired by VivoPower, a NASDAQ listed sustainable energy group. Under new ownership and leadership we were able to scale rapidly on the international stage. We secured new partners and customers expanding out of Eindhoven to other markets in Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and North America, in addition to our original European markets. We also expanded the scope of industries we serviced beyond mining, to encompass defence, safaris, infrastructure and agriculture amongst others.

Today

In 2023, in response to stubborn supply chain and inflation issues across the EU region, we diversified our supply chain to encompass trusted and experienced partners across Asia, including in China, the Philippines and Thailand. In 2024, we expanded our suite of products and solutions to encompass a Tembo OEM fully electric utility vehicle called the Tusker, as well as entering the public utility vehicle (PUV) market in the Philippines, with a partnership to electrify the iconic jeepneys. With the strategic moves above, we are now able to deliver the most competitively priced EUV and PUV products and solutions to B2B fleet owners, whether they wish to convert existing vehicles or purchase or lease new fully electric utility vehicles.

Future

We are steadfast in our commitment to help our customers achieve operational efficiencies and deliver on their decarbonisation goals. Furthermore, we are continuing to innovate year on year, driving incremental improvement with regards to increased range, reduced weight, improved safety and ergonomic features, whilst being cost competitive. In the long term, we see a future where our products and solutions will combine to provide the benefits of the “internet of electricity” for our customers globally.
