solutions that offer competitive performance and value for
electrified applications,” says Justin Colson, Vice President,
Clean Energy Solutions at Sensata Technologies. “Our vision is to
expand the GTM product family in the future for lower power
applications such as AGVs, material handling equipment, 2-, and
3-wheeled vehicles and other EVs.”
