Technology SpotlightBattery Air Conditioning For Police and Emergency VehiclesA typical police car can idle up to 5-7 hours during a 10 hour patrol shift. Unnecessary idling amounts to increased fuel and maintenance costs as well as harmful emissions. Operating the vehicle's HVAC system directly from batteries enables the operator to turn off the engine without sacrificing cabin climate. Installing eCycle compressor drives can help off-set costs by 25% and will pay for themselves within the first year of use. |
A leading manufacturer of low voltage, high current brushless motors and generators that supports a broad range of mobile and stationary applications.
eCycle is working with the transportation sector to develop and implement high efficiency battery accessory drives (battery air-conditioning, hydraulic motor-pump sets, integrated starter/alternators) to reduce unnecessary idling for all vehicles. eCycle products are valuable tools in reducing petroleum consumption and pollutant emissions, and can also result in significant cost savings for vehicle operators. The combination of higher fuel costs and enforcement of environmental regulations create a significant market opportunity, as battery accessory drives become a necessity.
