TECO Group Showcases Electric Vehicle Electrification Solutions at ACT Expo

The ACT Expo 2025, prominent for spotlighting advancements in green transportation and charging solutions, kicked off in California on April 28, 2025. TECO Electric Machinery, alongside its subsidiaries TECO-Westinghouse and NexE, along with the recently acquired EVK Motor, showcased their innovative approach to vehicle electrification.

This year's expo marks TECO's debut, where they are eager to reveal advanced products tailored for electric vehicles (EVs). The lineup includes electric drive axle systems designed for EV powertrains and high-power fast charging stations. Morris Li, TECO's Chairman, highlighted the group’s commitment to leading electrification solutions, emphasizing that progress in EV powertrain systems, coupled with robust charging infrastructure, is among their top priorities.

A focal point of TECO's presentation is the newly unveiled third-generation hairpin motor technology from EVK Motor, which brings to the table remarkable features such as superior thermal design, high power density, and an impressive peak efficiency of 97.8%. Designed specifically for use in electric axle systems (E-Axles), this innovative motor is remarkably compact; the entire unit—oil pump and radiator included—maintains a lightweight of just under 55 kilograms. With power outputs ranging between 50 to 300 kW and torque capabilities of 150 to 550 Nm, this motor positions itself as an exceptional option to enhance the operational efficiency of medium to large commercial vehicles, like electric buses and trucks. By addressing common vehicular challenges regarding capacity and weight, TECO’s advancements facilitate improved mobility for electrified autos. The strategic direction of TECO is set on leveraging opportunities in the lucrative multi-billion-dollar commercial vehicle markets of North America and Europe.

In addition, TECO-Westinghouse and NexE presented their fast-charging solutions, which include both 30kW and 60kW DC fast chargers along with the PowerCube, a portable power distribution system for EV chargers. These DC fast chargers are designed to significantly reduce charging times while incorporating intelligent charging capabilities and renewable energy integration, thus enhancing energy efficiency. Currently, TECO-Westinghouse is equipped to cater to a wide array of housing options, meeting the public institutions' demands, including fleets of school buses.

TECO’s presence at the ACT Expo not only seeks to display leading-edge technology but also aims to expand business opportunities within the EV powertrain market globally, spanning regions including Taiwan, North America, Europe, India, and China. Particularly in Taiwan, TECO is already making waves by supplying as much as 80% of the electric bus powertrain systems. Their developments also include contributing to Taiwan's first domestically produced hydrogen electric bus, characterized by a 235kW SiC direct-drive system that enables a hydrogen travel efficiency of 22 kilometers per kilogram, outperforming the international average substantially.

In the upcoming quarters, TECO is focused on mass-producing 200kW and 235kW direct-drive systems in India, as they gear towards the commercial vehicle market, specifically targeting electric-operated buses and trucks in North America. As TECO continues its journey in the electrification landscape, the stakes are high for the company as they innovate and invest in building a sustainable and effective EV ecosystem that aims for incredible heights.
