Purpose-built thermal management solutions
from Modine keep EV systems in optimal temperature ranges for REV
Group's fire apparatus brands E-ONE, KME, Ferrara and Spartan
Emergency Response.
RACINE,
Wis., March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The unique
needs of specialty vehicles like fire and emergency service
vehicles must be met for the full benefit of zero-emission
transportation solutions to be realized. To that end, Modine
Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD, "Modine"), a leader in
thermal management technology and solutions, today announced an
expansion of its partnership with REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG)
and its fire apparatus manufacturing brands E-ONE, KME, Ferrara and
Spartan Emergency Response. Modine will supply its EVantage™
thermal management systems for the Vector™, the first North
American-style all-electric fire truck.
Each Vector fire truck will be equipped with the complete suite
of Modine thermal management systems, including the EVantage
Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS), Electronics Cooling
Package (ECP), and cabin heating and cooling circuits. These
systems work together seamlessly to maintain optimal battery
temperature, efficiently cool power electronics, and ensure
passenger comfort in the cab, respectively.
"Strategic partnerships like the one with Modine help us
minimize the environmental impact of our products by accelerating
the use of alternative energy in the firefighting industry, and do
so with reliable and cost-effective solutions for our customers,"
said Roger Lackore, Senior Director
of Product Development of REV Fire Group. "Modine's technology is a
valuable asset for the all-electric Vector, and we are proud to
have them as a partner as we deliver the next generation of
specialty vehicles for the customers and communities we serve."
The all-electric Vector was introduced by REV Group in
August 2021 to build on their
commitment to green, energy-efficient technology. Equipped with 327
kilowatt-hours (kWh) of automotive-grade batteries, the truck
provides a long electric pumping duration.
"As the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles
continues to grow, our partnership with REV Group represents a
significant opportunity to reduce tailpipe emissions in the
firefighting industry while ensuring reliable operation of fire and
emergency vehicles," said Gina Maria
Bonini, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced
Thermal Systems at Modine. "We worked closely with the REV team to
gain a deep understanding of their customers' needs and tailored
our solutions to meet them. We are thrilled to continue cultivating
our relationship as we supply REV Group fire trucks with our
advanced thermal technology."
