TECO Electric combines the group's manufacturing and sales capabilities in Taiwan and the United States to participate in the U.S. Green Transportation and Charging Pile Expo, demonstrating its strength in entering the international market.
The TECO Group will showcase
cutting-edge products and services including electric drive axle systems for EV
powertrains and high-power fast charging stations. TECO Chairman Morris Li
emphasized that the company is committed to electrification solutions for
vehicles, with EV powertrain systems and charging infrastructure among the
group’s key strategic priorities. The products making their debut at this
year’s ACT Expo integrate TECO’s technological and manufacturing strengths from
both Taiwan and the U.S., showcasing the company’s capabilities in expanding
into international markets.
At the end of last year, TECO acquired
EVK Motor, an electric vehicle motor manufacturer. EVK’s third-generation
innovative hairpin motor technology features excellent thermal design, high
power density, and peak efficiency of up to 97.8%. Making its first public appearance, the hairpin
motor unit boasts key features such as a compact size and lightweight build—the
complete unit, including the oil pump and radiator, weighs less than 55
kilograms. The motor covers a power range of 50 to 300 kW and a torque range of
150 to 550 Nm. According to TECO, this
product is specifically designed for electric axle (E-Axle) solutions used in
medium and large commercial vehicles, such as electric buses and electric
trucks. It helps automakers overcome challenges related to vehicle capacity,
space, and weight, while significantly enhancing the mobility performance of
electrified vehicles. The company is targeting the multi-billion-dollar
commercial vehicle market in Europe and North America.
At the event, TECO-Westinghouse and
NexE are also showcasing their 30kW and 60kW DC fast charger and PowerCube (EV
Charger Portable Power distribution system). Those DC Chargers feature high
output power, smart charging capabilities, and renewable energy integration,
significantly reducing charging time and improving energy efficiency. TECO
stated that TECO-Westinghouse and NexE currently offer a full range of charging
solutions from 30kW to 480kW. TECO-Westinghouse has already established a
charger assembly line at its Texas factory to meet the needs of public institutions,
including school bus fleets. Through its participation at ACT Expo, TECO aims
to broaden its market exposure and business opportunities.
TECO Group continues to invest in EV
powertrain systems with a global market layout that includes Taiwan, North America,
India, Europe, and China. In Taiwan, TECO supplies 80% of the electric bus
powertrain systems. The nation’s first domestically produced hydrogen electric
bus is also powered by TECO’s 235kW SiC direct-drive system, capable of
traveling 22 kilometers per kilogram of hydrogen (compared to the international
average of about 20 km/kg). In India, TECO delivered prototypes to customers in
Q1, with mass production of 200kW and 235kW direct-drive systems slated to
begin in Q3. In North America, the company is targeting electric buses and
trucks as its key customer base.
