TECO Group Showcases Innovative Vehicle Electrification Solutions
The ACT Expo 2025 stands as the premier event for green transportation and charging technologies, and TECO Electric & Machinery is making its mark by joining forces with its U.S. subsidiaries. This year's expo highlights a confluence of innovative electric vehicle (EV) solutions aimed at transforming the industry.
Debuting Cutting-Edge Technologies
TECO Group is excited to showcase its latest advancements at the expo. This includes electric drive axle systems for EV powertrains and high-power fast charging stations, marking a significant step in electrification solutions. Chairman Morris Li emphasized the company’s commitment to building robust EV powertrain systems and an extensive charging infrastructure, reflecting the strategic priorities that TECO is pursuing in the evolving automotive sector.
Acquisition and Technological Advancements
A significant move by TECO was its acquisition of EVK Motor, an electric vehicle motor manufacturer known for innovative technologies. The highlight of EVK’s offerings is its third-generation hairpin motor technology, which promises exceptional thermal management and efficiency with peak ratings reaching 97.8%. The compact design of this motor—including components like the oil pump and radiator—ensures a lightweight profile, essential for modern electric vehicles, particularly those aimed at commercial applications.
Products Designed for Future Mobility
With a power range of 50 to 300 kW and torque capabilities between 150 and 550 Nm, the new hairpin motor is engineered specifically for electric axle solutions in medium to large commercial vehicles such as buses and trucks. This technology addresses the pressing challenges manufacturers face regarding vehicle space and weight while significantly boosting the overall performance of electrified vehicles. TECO is strategically positioning itself to capitalize on the multi-billion-dollar commercial vehicle market across regions.
Fast-Charging Solutions for Today's Demands
In conjunction with its innovative motor technology, TECO-Westinghouse and NexE are also showcasing their latest 30kW and 60kW DC fast chargers and the PowerCube, which is a portable power distribution system. These chargers promise high output capabilities with smart features, including the ability to integrate renewable energy sources. This not only reduces charging time but also enhances energy efficiency significantly. The offering includes a full range of solutions from 30kW to 480kW, responding to the growing demand for efficient and reliable charging options.
Expanding Global Reach and Investments
TECO Group continues to strategically invest in EV powertrain systems with a focus on a global market that spans continents including North America, Europe, and Asia. Within Taiwan, TECO leads the market, supplying 80% of the electric bus powertrain solutions. Notably, the country’s pioneering hydrogen electric bus is equipped with TECO’s direct-drive system, touted for its superior energy efficiency.
The company is also making strides in India, having delivered early prototypes to customers, with plans to commence mass production of its direct-drive systems soon. In North America, TECO is targeting electric bus and truck manufacturers as key clients, further solidifying its foothold in the EV market.
