In the emergency vehicle industry, reducing emissions and increasing operational efficiency are critical goals. To address these needs, two innovative zero-emissions solutions have emerged, both designed to provide power while minimizing environmental impact. These systems embody the principle of “Engine OFF, Power ON,” ensuring that emergency responders can rely on essential tools and equipment without the noise and pollution associated with traditional power sources.
One solution currently available and more on the affordable side serves as a generator replacement, offering a manual system that provides power to tools and electronics during emergency operations. This approach eliminates the need for noisy, fume-producing generators, ensuring a quieter, cleaner environment while still delivering the necessary power for vital tasks. The second solution is an automatic Idle Mitigation System, which not only powers tools and devices but also maintains climate control inside the vehicle even when the engine is off. This fully integrated system allows responders to stay comfortable and fully operational during extended calls, making it ideal for those who need both power and climate management on the job.
Each system was engineered to different operational needs, providing flexibility and effectiveness for a range of emergency scenarios. This event is sponsored by Kussmaul Electronics.
