About

Turntide Technologies (formerly Software Motor Company) is a clean energy hardware company that designs and manufactures electric motors, power electronics, energy storage, and thermal solutions for transportation and industrial electrification. Originally pioneering a switched reluctance motor (SRM) platform for commercial building HVAC systems — eliminating rare earth metals while achieving up to 64% energy savings — Turntide has since expanded into axial flux motors for electric and hybrid vehicle drivetrains across automotive, commercial vehicles, agriculture, marine, rail, and construction sectors. The company's Smart Motor System was certified as the world's most efficient motor by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Turntide operates manufacturing and engineering facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, and India, partnering with OEMs and fleet operators globally to accelerate electrification of anything that moves.
