Made for incorporation in an air conditioning system in a passenger car or commercial vehicle, the radial fan is 15% more efficient and 60% quieter than a conventional design, according to Mahle.

This marks a significant growth of 1,791% in its electric vehicle service portfolio over the past 12 months.

The ‘Air Top Pro 25’ is a commercial vehicle air heater with a maximum output of 8,500 BTU/h, or 2.5 kilowatts, whereas the ‘Cool Split 20 Evo’ air conditioning system is designed specifically for heavy-duty trucks.

The QP21EM is engineered with patented piston and steel shoes, offering “unparalleled” durability, according to TCCI.

This site has an annual capacity of 20,000 HVAC systems per year and was purpose-built to service the increasing demands for HVAC systems in electric buses and coaches.

Designed to warm the passenger compartment and driver's cab, the product can also condition the vehicle battery. This preheating can noticeably extend the range and speed up the charging process in winter conditions.

Modine says that, since 2023, Gillig has deployed over one hundred hybrid buses installed with Modine’s EVantage system.

The company has hired Brendan Waldron as its new Engineering Director, who will oversee Grayson’s engineering capabilities with a focus on standardisation, innovation and process optimisation.

Modine says that both ‘EVantage’ products are designed to work “seamlessly” in the thermal management of batteries and power electronics, as well as providing air conditioning for the vehicle interior.

Already based in Seville, the company, over the next twelve months, will move into a new 36,000 square-metre facility, of which 14,000 square-metres is warehouse space with a 2,500 square-metre office.

The Cabin Climate System boasts 12kW of cooling capacity and 10kW of heating capacity.

On its website, Spheros is promoting thermal management products for various applications, including buses, refrigerated vehicles, and e-mobility.
