Modine L-CON battery thermal management system delivers
optimal battery performance in a package small enough to meet the
space claim requirements of the Elgin Pelican® three-wheeled broom
sweepers
RACINE,
Wis., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of
the transition to emissions-free mechanical sweeping vehicles,
Modine (NYSE: MOD, "Modine") today announced that Elgin
Sweeper Company ("Elgin Sweeper") will leverage the Modine
EVantage™ L-CON Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) for the
hybrid version of its Pelican® three-wheeled mechanical sweeper.
For the new plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) Pelican®, the Modine
EVantage L-CON BTMS will enhance battery longevity, optimize
vehicle range, and reduce carbon emissions. With more than 100
years of engineering, manufacturing, and technical know-how, Elgin
Sweeper manufactures sweepers for residential, airport, race track,
port, municipal, construction, and industrial
applications.
"At Elgin, we designed the hybrid Pelican to deliver outstanding
maneuverability and visibility while making a meaningful reduction
in emissions without reducing the sweep performance our customers
expect. We are committed to using the latest technologies for the
street sweeping industry to meet the sustainability goals of our
customers," said Tim Letts, Project
Manager at Elgin Sweeper. "Together with Modine, we are powering a
generation of sweepers that pollute less to deliver truly cleaner
and greener streets across North
America. We are excited for this partnership and the
integration of advanced thermal management technology to continue
delivering uncompromised performance for heavy-duty cycle sweeping
applications."
The Pelican PHEV combines an ultra-low emissions engine with the
latest technology in the electrification market, including a
battery and generator system that meets the demanding duty cycle of
municipal street sweeping to reduce stormwater and air pollution.
By integrating Modine's robust thermal management system with
Elgin's high-performance sweeping system, the Pelican is designed
to tackle debris, providing cleaner streets, sidewalks, and parking
lots.
"With nearly five billion dollars
earmarked for the electrification of vehicles in the Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act, now is the time to pursue electrification
in all vehicle segments," said Gina Maria
Bonini, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced
Thermal Systems at Modine. "Our BTMS technology is designed to
deliver optimal battery performance by tightly controlling
temperature with a complete plug-and-play system, which enables
industrial vehicle manufacturers to transition or repower more of
their platforms more rapidly. Collaborations like the one with
Elgin Sweeper are a prime example of this and help bring about a
cleaner, healthier future for everyone. We are excited to be part
of Elgin's sweeping system."
The Modine L-CON BTMS addresses the unique thermal management
needs of commercial EV batteries across a broad range of vehicles
by being adaptable to fit into diverse chassis layouts. The system
features plug-and-play integration that can be located anywhere on
the vehicle for unprecedented flexibility for vehicle designers and
will optimize the temperature range for an entire bank of batteries
with a single unit. With the freedom to integrate battery thermal
management on space-constrained off-highway and commercial chassis,
manufacturers can ensure optimal battery performance in tight
spaces and harsh, dirty environments.
