Value Proposition
Thomson Power proprietary products and patent protected innovation are focused on accelerating the adoption of clean, commercial-use transport technologies desired by bus and commercial truck operators who want to cut emissions and costs, while enabling an earlier ROI resulting in increased profitability. Initial testing and simulations show a 10-20% energy efficiency improvemen
t when deployed on current EV systems deployed in Electric powered buses from BYD and Proterra (the only two commercially available EV bus models in North America). Quantified, this will result in 0.2 / KW per mile (or 30KW/day) per vehicle benefit over our competitors. It also allows the OEM to use a smaller battery pack saving approximately $50,000 in costs. Improvements of 700%+ have been demonstrated over aging hybrid and diesels ready for retrofit or replacement. Over the life cycle (12 years) of the vehicle, this equates to approximately $500,000 of savings. When you extrapolate these savings, the cost and energy savings are staggering. Thomson Power’s intellectual property combined with interchangeable, off-the-shelf components provides an affordable and effective solution for retrofitting and new vehicle powertrains in the medium and heavy?duty commercial category.
1. Lower calculated annual energy and vehicle capital costs
2. Decreased the size of battery pack required which reduces vehicle cost
3. Enhanced en route charging capability with our vPCS system
4. Ideally suited for delivery and transit bus applications
5. Driver heterogeneity by controlling speedy and aggressive driving
6. Adaptive vehicle power management system
8. Modifies electric vehicle drive output in real time
9. Energy efficient power output commands
10. Adaptive “hill?holding” subsystem
Our technology application delivers impressive lifetime fuel savings and have demonstrated an impressive 22.8 MPGe against a typical electric bus fleet operation of > 17 MPGe.* Our system offers over five times the MPG equivalent versus diesel and CNG equipment. Combined with the inherently lower volatility of electric prices over the life of the bus vs. CNG and diesel, our vPCS controller offer best in class efficiency. The stability of electrical prices enables dramatically lower operating costs that are immediate, stable and predictable based on the lack of fossil fuel inputs
