TOMOS has had a long storied history for over 50 years in the two-wheeled industry. It took collaboration of like and proud minds, as well as determination and vision to work together to start this enterprise. These gentlemen never imagined that TOMOS would become larger than themselves. The first product made in TOMOS was a motorcycle called TOMOS Puch SG 250. In 1955 they made 137 of these motorcycles and assembled 124 RL 125 scooters and one hundred mopeds. The next year, mopeds accounted for the majority (1712) of the total number of assembled units, followed by motorcycles (615) and scooters. Simultaneously with the licensed production, TOMOS focused all of its strengths in its own development of serial models.

The 1960s were the most productive period for TOMOS. Holland emerged as an important market in 1960. TOMOS had so much success, that the only other plant outside of Slovenia was granted to Holland in 1966. The factory still produces for the Holland market along with research and development of new units. Holland remains the strongest market for TOMOS today. At the brink of the 1970’s, TOMOS started preparing for the production of “automatics” designed and constructed by the company itself, as the market was increasingly interested in such type of motorcycles and the components produced abroad were more and more expensive. Therefore, they produced Automatic A1 with improved single gear engine which was built into the framework structure of the previous Automatic. Its successor, Automatic A3 was made in 1973 when they launched the new, modernized production line with automated machines for framework welding. This was the beginning of the production of new frameworks in TOMOS which were visually different from the licensed Puch's motorcycle frameworks.

In the 1970’s, several new models of Colibris were sent to the markets. Colibris T-03, T-12 and T-13 had Puch’s motors while Colibri 14V had inbuilt motor produced by TOMOS, according to its own design. After 1973 all motorcycles and bicycles with motors attached produced by TOMOS were equipped with in-house manufactured engines. In this period, they also developed Colibri 15 with a stronger motor which could almost compete with motorcycles. In the 1960’s and 1970’s TOMOS’s developmental activity reached its peak in terms of the volume of patents and prototypes. However, during the 1979 – 1980 time frame TOMOS was faced with restrictive environmental standards for the first time. In the 1980’s, TOMOS modernized the entire range of two-wheelers and concentrated on reducing the level of noise and harmful emissions, and increased the rider’s comfort along with a more modern look.

The first product from the new range was APN 6 which was introduced in 1981. In 1985, TOMOS launched a new generation of motorcycles, the BT 50 with cast wheels and turn signals. Based on this model, TOMOS ATX 50 C was produced later for off-road use. Early in 1991, the Republic of Yugoslavia broke up. Slovenia with its close ties to Austria and Italy was first to gain its independence. This brought on new challenges for the company to which were navigated successfully. In 1998, the company was bought out by a large private corporation; Hidria. This move proved to be very successful and beneficial to TOMOS. It allowed for continual improvements in the factory’s future endeavors. In the 1990’s TOMOS came out with the Sprint, Targa, and Targa LX. The later two were eventually changed to TOMOS ST and TOMOS LX. A new engine was introduced called the A35. In 2000, TOMOS USA was started in Greenville, South Carolina. The new office and warehouse complex is over 24,000 sq. ft. It was the first time that the factory from Europe took over operations in the USA from American distributors. This decision was made to streamline operations and for the factory to get a better feel for the North American market.

In 2004, Slovenia was admitted into the European Union. This move allowed the company to further benefit from a stable currency, trade, and a collective European system. New models were also introduced during these years such as the MC Off-Road Line, Revival, Streetmate, and Arrow. Complementing these new units was a new family engine called the A55 in 2006. Due to stricter EPA emissions, TOMOS mounted the A55 engine on all of its 2007 models. TOMOS continues to meet or exceed EPA standards and has met the requirements for 2008. The factory continues to modernize at its original location in Koper, Slovenia to meet new market demands. Our devotion, proud heritage, and history are evident in the products that we produce and will continue to produce in the future and next 50 years. We constantly seek new ideas from our research, the market, and customers like you. Our goal is to remain the number one moped manufacturer in the world.
