VMAC has launched its new UNDERHOOD 40 featuring enhanced digital controls and telematics. Seamlessly integrated with the vehicle, VMAC's digital controls provide operators and fleet managers with insights into the performance and maintenance of their UNDERHOOD 40 systems.
“Our goal at VMAC is to continuously improve and innovate,” explains Jamie McPherson, VMAC’s director of engineering. “The UNDERHOOD 40’s advanced digital controls are just one component in the complete vehicle-integrated system, but we seized the opportunity to improve this component and provide meaningful value to our customers and partners.”
The UNDERHOOD 40's advanced digital controls encompass telematics, built-in soft start, safety controls and enhanced diagnostics.
“The new Controller continually monitors sensor health and safety interlocks, while optional telematics provide real-time diagnostics, system use, hours, service intervals, remote start/stop, and error codes through industry standard J1939 interface,” explains Steve Danielewicz, VMAC’s engineering team lead.
Engineered for trucks and commercial vans, the UNDERHOOD 40 provides up to 40 CFM at 100% duty cycle, all while optimizing truck deck and cargo space and reducing GVW by up to 290 lbs.
