Hilliard, OH, August 15, 2023 (BUSINESSWIRE) –
Vanner Inc. is pleased to announce that Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) will be receiving over ninety (90) GILLIG electric hybrid buses equipped with Vanner’s Increase Accessory Power 2™ (IAP2). IAP2 will provide total accessory electrification, powering air conditioning, air compressor, electric fans and all 12V/24V loads. IAP2 converts and manages accessory electrical energy from the Allison eGen Flex™ Electric Hybrid System. Additionally, IAP2 powers all accessories continuously when the bus operates in pure EV-Mode.
Major components of IAP2 are: (1) High Voltage Distribution Module™(HVDM™), a smart high voltage power distribution module in constant communication with the Allison eGen Flex™ Electric Hybrid System; (2) Vanner Export Power Inverter (VEPI) converting 600VDC to 230VAC 3-Phase; (3) Hybrid Beltless Alternator™ (HBA™) converting 600VDC to 28VDC. These buses will have Dual Air-Cooled HBAs producing five hundred (500) amperes.
The Allison eGen Flex™ Electric Hybrid System with Vanner’s IAP2 received certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with a Cummins Inc. engine.
IAP2 is also directly applicable to heavy-duty zero-emission battery and fuel cell vehicles.
