tDrive Nano is a smart and robust controller designed for basic control of engines with either electronic or mechanical management. Its IP67-rated enclosure and 2.8” sunlight-readable color screen make it ideal for harsh environments.

It features configurable inputs and outputs, CANbus and Modbus communication, and intuitive software that allows users to define acceleration profiles, manage automatic ramps, and transfer configurations via USB. Thanks to its compact design, it’s easy to install on vehicles, motor pumps, gensets, or auxiliary systems.

tDrive Nano brings together operational simplicity, control power, and durability in a single device.
