Breakthrough Zero Emissions
Heater
Maintains Winter Driving Range of Battery Electric
Vehicles
FREMONT,
Calif., May 16, 2024 /CNW/ -- Proof Energy Inc.
today announced the commercial launch of its ClearTherm™ Range
Defender™ for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). The
patented catalytic oxidation heater delivers zero emissions
heat to vehicle HVAC systems, preserving the energy stored in
batteries for propulsion and maintaining driving range even in
sub-zero winter temperatures.
While the number of BEVs continues to grow and the battery
technology continues to improve, bus and truck fleet operators
consistently report that it's very challenging to operate BEVs in
winter with reductions in driving range of 30% or more.
"To address this industry problem our
ClearTherm™ Range Defender™ uses
readily available, low-cost renewable ethanol fuel and Proof
Energy's patented catalytic oxidation technology to deliver zero
emissions heat without draining vehicle batteries." said
Vlad Kalika – CEO, Proof Energy.
Proof Energy has appointed Coulomb Solutions Inc ("CSI") as its
exclusive sales partner for ClearTherm™ products.
"CSI is excited to partner with Proof Energy to bring
ClearTherm™ to the North American market. It is the
only zero emissions solution that restores the winter driving range
of our customers' commercial electric vehicles." said David Mazaika – CEO, Coulomb Solutions Inc.
"Proof Energy is delighted to partner with CSI. As a leading
supplier of commercial EV powertrain components, and the exclusive
North American distributor for CATL Lithium-Ion batteries for
commercial vehicles, CSI already works closely with many
ClearTherm™ OEM and fleet customers." said
Tim Dummer – President, Proof
Energy.
Both Proof Energy (Booth # 3610) and CSI (Booth # 3601) will be
presenting the ClearTherm™ Range Defender™ at the
Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo (05/20-23 in Las Vegas): www.actexpo.com
