Telma is a motor vehicle manufacturing company based in Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône, Île-de-France, France, with a history spanning more than sixty years. It specializes in friction-free braking systems that rely on electromagnetic induction to assist vehicle stopping. Telma's induction braking solutions can absorb up to 80% of a deceleration event, improving the reliability of conventional brakes and maintaining brake availability in emergencies; they also reduce maintenance by roughly fivefold and do not require periodic servicing or oil changes, reducing environmental impact. Its products target vehicles used to transport passengers and goods, contributing to road safety and driver and cargo security. Telma operates a global distribution network and has pursued worldwide initiatives to promote recognition of retarders in vehicle design. A recent development includes Telma Retarder Inc.'s participation in Busworld Europe 2025, illustrating ongoing activity in showcasing its technology.
