Plug-and-play integration and high-performance
components simplify adding HVAC for passenger comfort to commercial
EVs
RACINE,
Wis., July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Modine (NYSE:
MOD), a diversified global leader in thermal management technology,
today announced the expansion of its
EVantage™ portfolio with the launch of the Cabin
Climate System (CCS), a comprehensive thermal management solution
specifically designed for commercial, off-highway, and specialty
electric vehicles (EVs). Engineered for optimal passenger comfort,
the CCS delivers precise temperature control for EV cabins,
offering immediate heating and cooling capabilities.
With 12kW of cooling capacity and 10kW of heating capacity, the
EVantage CCS delivers optimal interior temperatures and performance
in any operating environment. Its simple, lightweight, and modular
design makes the CCS an ideal solution for a wide range of vehicle
applications, including commercial, off-highway, and specialty EVs.
Designed to seamlessly integrate into the vehicle's chassis to
reduce design complexity, the system's high-performance
capabilities are driven by smart electric components, such as an
ingress-protected high-voltage electric compressor, a high-voltage
coolant heater, and coolant pump, and Modine's proprietary heat
exchangers.
"Cabin heating and cooling are crucial for EV passenger and
operator comfort, which is why our Cabin Climate System is designed
for performance, reliability, and long-term value," explained
Sarah Williams, Product Manager at
Modine. "Recognizing the challenges often faced by technology
upgrades, we developed the CCS to simplify integration with EV HVAC
systems. This innovative solution ensures that passenger comfort
remains uncompromised while optimizing vehicle operation and
drastically reducing switching costs."
Designed to ensure easy serviceability for Modine customers, the
components of the CCS are fully compatible and proven with the
Modine EVantage Thermal Management Systems, facilitating both
streamlined parts sourcing and the serviceability Modine customers
have come to value. As a passenger thermal management system for
commercial EVs, the high-voltage electric compressor, high-voltage
coolant heater and coolant pump, and high-reliability ingress
protection, as well as Modine-proprietary heat exchangers,
represent a comprehensive technology stack. The CCS has an
integrated master thermal controller and Modine-developed firmware
to provide both heating and cooling with significantly reduced
design complexity.
"Modine has been at the forefront of vehicle thermal management
system innovation, and this expansion beyond traditional
under-the-hood systems into the vehicle cabin is a natural
evolution for us," said Gina Maria
Bonini, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced
Thermal Systems at Modine. "With this strategic expansion, we are
showing the commitment to innovation and efficiency Modine has made
to its customers. Comprehensive thermal management naturally also
includes cabin comfort, and we are delighted at the response we've
received from our EV customers to this new solution."
