LONG BEACH, Calif.,
May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Global automotive supplier DENSO has developed a new high
amperage alternator for the Medium and Heavy Duty truck market that
is smaller, lighter and more efficient than the industry
competition. The PowerEdge offers advanced alternator features -
proven in the automotive market - like DENSO's patented segment
conductor (SC) technology, which incorporates an innovative square
wire copper stator design. By leveraging DENSO's innovative design
and manufacturing technologies, the PowerEdge achieves higher
efficiency in a smaller, more lightweight design, which translates
into improved fuel economy. DENSO's new product will be available
in July 2015.
"DENSO has harnessed its cutting-edge technology in order to
provide a much-needed solution for the commercial truck market. In
addition to its improved efficiency and higher amps at idle, the
DENSO PowerEdge alternator can be up to 10 pounds lighter than the
industry's competition," said Frank
Jenkins, senior manager of DENSO Product and Services
Americas' Commercial and Heavy Duty Group. "This means reduced fuel
consumption over the long haul, which can save thousands of dollars
per truck per year."
DENSO's SC alternator design has been optimized to provide the
durability and long life needed to meet the severe demands of heavy
and medium duty trucks. DENSO's new PowerEdge alternators offers
four output versions: 170amp, 185amp, 205amp, and 220amp. Each unit
features the same innovative SC stator, producing higher efficiency
and more amps at idle. Additionally, these units are equipped with
heavy duty bearings, advanced long-life brush composition, and
remote sense technology to prolong battery life. Not only do these
highly efficient alternators offer a small, lightweight design, but
its compact size and weight offer fleet and truck technicians
easier handling and installation.
"Medium and Heavy Duty customers have been looking for a more
durable, higher efficiency solution for their growing electrical
requirements. DENSO has responded by introducing the lightest, most
efficient alternator in today's market," said Fran Labun, vice president of Sales at DENSO
Product and Services Americas. DENSO has long been regarded as a
leader in the global OEM market. This DENSO PowerEdge was developed
specifically for the increasing demands of the truck market and
demonstrates our strengthened commitment to our customers."
The DENSO PowerEdge Alternator provides 100 percent coverage for
pad-mount applications and offers the following features and
benefits:
- Superior efficiency, providing reduced fuel consumption and
mileage savings
- Durability, long life, reducing replacement intervals and
costs
- Higher amps at idle
- Remote sense features, prolongs battery life, reducing
replacement costs
- Compact size and lighter weight, for improved fuel savings and
ease of installation
DENSO began producing its SC alternator for Original Equipment
Manufacturers in December 1999 and
produces and supplies this product in all major regions of the
world. DENSO, which has supplied alternators since 1962, has been
reducing the size and weight of alternators while also increasing
their efficiency.
