Teco Electric and Machinery Co Ltd (東元電機), a leading Taiwan-based electric machinery supplier, has won mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) contracts in hyperscale data center engineering projects in Malaysia worth about NT$1.17 billion (US$39.78 million).
Teco on Friday said that two data center projects, one in Selangor and the other in Johor Bahru, marked the company’s inroads into the hyperscale data center business and have a combined capacity of 178 megawatts (MW).
The two contracts showed “not only Teco’s advanced technical capabilities in hyperscale data center MEP engineering, but also showcases its Intelligence Energy Business Group’s competence in project integration and execution on the international stage,” Teco chairman Morris Li (利明献) said.

As Malaysia is rapidly rising to become a major data center hub in Southeast Asia, the contracts are expected to support the company in broadening its footprint in the data center infrastructure market, Teco said.
The firm has been well-positioned in the MEP engineering sector and is recognized as an industry expert in fiber connectivity for hyperscale data centers, it added.
The project in Selangor’s Elmina Business Park includes server room installations and the deployment of hyperscale fiber-optic communications infrastructure, while the project in Johor Bahru’s Sedenak Tech Park involves providing fiber-optic solutions for hyperscale data centers, it said.
As major global tech giants are accelerating the deployment of hyperscale data centers in Southeast Asia, the company would continue to seek opportunities to win more contracts and further extend its reach in the data center business, Teco said.
The company has more than 10 years of experience in data center MEP engineering development and has delivered integrated solutions totaling more than 240MW in capacity, it added.
The company’s Intelligence Energy Business Group is executing a landmark data center MEP project in Singapore, which includes the installation of the world’s first 13,864-core hyperscale fiber-optic cable, Teco said.
Teco said its total installed capacity for data center projects across Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries has surpassed 700MV.
In addition to engineering solutions, the company also provides core MEP products essential for data center construction, such as modular solutions, high-efficiency motors, busways, generators, transformers and switchboards.
TRAFFIC SAFETY RULES: A positive result in a drug test would result in a two-year license suspension for the driver and vehicle, and a fine of up to NT$180,000 The Ministry of Transportation and Communications is to authorize police to conduct roadside saliva tests by the end of the year to deter people from driving while under the influence of narcotics, it said yesterday. The ministry last month unveiled a draft of amended regulations governing traffic safety rules and penalties, which included provisions empowering police to conduct mandatory saliva tests on drivers. While currently rules authorize police to use oral fluid testing kits for signs of drug use, they do not establish penalties for noncompliance or operating procedures for officers to follow, the ministry said. The proposed changes to the regulations require

China Airlines Ltd (CAL) yesterday morning joined SkyTeam’s Aviation Challenge for the fourth time, operating a demonstration flight for “net zero carbon emissions” from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Bangkok. The flight used sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at a ratio of up to 40 percent, the highest proportion CAL has achieved to date, the nation’s largest carrier said. Since April, SAF has become available to Taiwanese international carriers at Taipei International Airport (Songshan airport), Kaohsiung International Airport and Taoyuan airport. In previous challenges, CAL operated “net zero carbon emission flights” to Singapore and Japan. At a ceremony at Taoyuan airport, China Airlines chief sustainability
‘ONE CHINA’: A statement that Berlin decides its own China policy did not seem to sit well with Beijing, which offered only one meeting with the German official German Minister for Foreign Affairs Johann Wadephul’s trip to China has been canceled, a spokesperson for his ministry said yesterday, amid rising tensions between the two nations, including over Taiwan. Wadephul had planned to address Chinese curbs on rare earths during his visit, but his comments about Berlin deciding on the “design” of its “one China” policy ahead of the trip appear to have rankled China. Asked about Wadephul’s comments, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun (郭嘉昆) said the “one China principle” has “no room for any self-definition.” In the interview published on Thursday, Wadephul said he would urge China to
