Portugal has evolved into one of Europe's most dynamic automotive manufacturing hubs. With major assembly plants located in Palmela (Autoeuropa), Mangualde, and Azambuja, the demand for high-precision engine flywheels and clutch friction linings has seen exponential growth. Our role as a premier supplier is to bridge the gap between advanced manufacturing technology and the specific logistical needs of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Portuguese automotive cluster, coordinated by Mobinov, emphasizes innovation in components. As an exporter, we align our product development with Portugal’s "Strategy 2030," focusing on high-durability materials that withstand the diverse topography of the region—from the steep hills of the Douro Valley to the high-speed transit corridors connecting Lisbon to Madrid.
Portuguese regulations, harmonized with EU directives, are increasingly demanding non-asbestos and copper-free friction linings. Our latest product range exported to Portugal utilizes organic fibers and ceramic-based compounds that reduce environmental impact while maintaining superior heat dissipation, crucial for heavy-duty trucks navigating the A1 and A2 motorways.
Beyond the asphalt, Portugal’s economy relies heavily on the maritime industry in Aveiro and Setúbal and agriculture in Alentejo. Our engine flywheels and wet-paper linings are specifically engineered for marine winches, grab dredgers, and vineyard tractors, where salt-spray resistance and high-torque engagement are non-negotiable requirements.
The trend towards "Industry 4.0" in Portugal means that suppliers must offer more than just parts. We provide full technical traceability and digital compatibility data for our clutch assemblies, ensuring that Portuguese fleet managers can integrate our components into their predictive maintenance schedules seamlessly.
Zhejiang TVC Auto Co., Ltd. was established to become an independent, specialized company focused on manufacturing clutch parts. After more than ten years of continuous effort, the company has grown into a significant player in the industry. Led by renowned experts, researchers, and senior engineers in clutch manufacturing, we take responsibility for technology, quality management, product development, and sales. Our management team, with expertise in manufacturing, production, logistics, procurement, and equipment management, has built three major product lines (light, medium, and heavy) covering a wide range of products.

Zhejiang TVC Auto Co., Ltd. specializes in the research, development, production, and sales of clutches for light, medium, and heavy trucks. Our products are suitable for various truck models and use high-quality raw materials from reputable suppliers to ensure top standards. We manufacture over 90% of our clutch parts in-house, all of which pass national authority testing.
We are committed to delivering products on time with high efficiency, and our prices are highly competitive in the market. From the beginning, we have implemented the ISO/IATF16949: 2016 quality control system, demonstrating our dedication to quality. Our products are well-recognized in both domestic and international markets.
Our products are primarily used in automotive spare parts, particularly in various types of trucks (European and Japanese series) and transmission systems. In Portugal, where the TIR (International Road Transport) system is vital for trade with the rest of the EU, our heavy-duty clutch linings provide the reliability needed for 1,000km+ non-stop journeys.
Equipped with an advanced CNC manufacturing workshop and stamping equipment ranging from 2000T to 30T, we produce flywheels that meet the specific tolerances required by Portuguese precision engineering firms. Our ISO/TS16949 certification ensures that every unit shipped to Porto or Lisbon meets stringent European safety standards.
