TransPower receives $1 million grant from California Energy Commission for Electric Truck Manufacturing
August 1, 2010
TransPower announced today that it has been awarded a $1 million competitive grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) for component development and manufacturing planning related to production of battery-electric trucks. TransPower was one of eleven companies selected to receive grants or loans on the basis of a CEC competition for Manufacturing Plants: Electric Vehicles, Alternative Fuel Vehicles, Vehicle Components and Batteries..."

TransPower is an advanced technology company whose mission is to promote and supply a diverse array of zero-emission transportation solutions – defined as vehicles and transportation systems that produce no harmful emissions, or extremely negligible pollutants, at the point of operation. Zero-emission transportation solutions not only improve the environment by mitigating smog, greenhouse gases, and other forms of air pollution, but they also help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
TransPower's current focus is on supplying electric drive systems for large trucks. In 2010 we are kicking off a Port Electric Truck Initiative (PETI) - a demonstration of Class 8 drayage trucks at the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. This core electric drive system developed and perfected during this project will the be adapted to a wide range of large truck applications, as summarized below. |

 Electric Port Trucks - TransPower is developing electric drive products to enable trucks carrying containers at the nation's ports to operate on clean electric power supplied by high-energy battery systems. These revolutionary new products will be demonstrated in 2011 as part of a Port Electric Truck Initiative, a project led by TransPower which also involves leading suppliers of electric drive components, a world class truck manufacturer, and a prominent port drayage firm.

 Electric Refuse Trucks - TransPower is developing electric drive solutions for refuse and recycling trucks, which will eliminate the dependence of these vehicles on fossil fuels and their emissions, while helping to mitigate noise. A typical truck that travels 25,000 miles each year would save about $20,000 in fuel and maintenance costs every year, if converted to run on battery-electric propulsion. As fuel prices escalate, this economic benefit will grow.

 Electric Delivery Trucks - TransPower electric drive products are well-suited to the operating needs of many of the hundreds of thousands of delivery trucks that operate every day in local regions across North America. Such vehicles can take advantage of emerging battery technologies to operate quietly and with zero emissions, while eliminating their reliance on fossil fuels. Imagine the benefits of operating a delivery truck that never has to be driven to a service station for gas, an oil change, or a tune-up!

 Electric People-Movers - Trams and other types of people-movers can be equipped with new battery technologies to enable passengers to be shuttled short distances in quiet comfort. Riders will also appreciate the absence of fumes, and operators will benefit from never having to refuel these futuristic vehicles. Electric people-movers are ideal for theme parks and natural parks, as they can climb very steep grades and help preserve the natural environment.

 Electric Buses - Thousands of hybrid-electric and fuel cell buses operating around the world today have demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of electric propulsion in transit vehicles. As battery technologies advance, buses will become less dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels. A new generation of new, more battery-dominant hybrid and fuel cell buses will soon appear, and pure battery-electric propulsion will become practical for some bus applications.

 Electric-Plus Hydrogen (EPH) Systems - Vehicles whose energy requirements exceed the practical limits of battery technology can use large battery packs augmented by small hydrogen-burning fuel cells or engines to meet their operating requirements. These electric-plus-hydrogen systems will offer emissions reductions equal or comparable to the benefits of pure battery-electric vehicles, earning them a role in the zero-emission transportatin revolution.
