Except we know that TR is the "speed" empire when it comes to vehicles. So it's probably armor, as Coreldan pointed out.

Whatever the Chinese word for "Conglomerate" probably translated to "Federation" because they have similar meanings -- American parlance has simply "forgotten" what Federation means, since our Federal system has become less and less federal as the States cede power to the Fed and we become more like a nation with provinces or something. But the point is, in English, both Conglomerate and Federation speak to a system by which largely independent entities (corporations and states) band together in a loose, but formal, affiliation.
So when you translate Conglomerate to Chinese, and then back, you ended up with a near-synonym. Not surprising.
