Looking ahead, the company plans to continue extending its reach in the electric vehicle (EV) market, where it expects significant growth and has set a target of NT$300 million for revenue from its EV-related products, the Central News Agency reported yesterday.
In the past few years, Teco has been producing “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSM) which typically have a higher torque capacity and better torque utilization with faster acceleration and deceleration than traditional induction motors.
Teco’s new-generation high-performance powertrain is aimed at markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Southeast Asia, India and Europe, the CNA reported.
Featuring a modular design, Teco’s electric vehicle motor and motor controller consist of expandable modules with different powers, boasting high reliability and environmental endurance, the report said.
Applications include higher-grade passenger cars, sports utility vehicles and light-duty commercial cars, it said.
Teco said its PMSMs have been incorporated into Taiwan’s EV bus supply chain.
Its powertrain solutions are expected to be realized gradually sometime after the third quarter of this year.
The company’s Indian production facilities for EV powertrains are to be completed by the end of this year, with manufacturing to begin from January next year, the report added.
