VMAC’s Underhood 40 air compressor features telematics and advanced digital controls that integrate seamlessly with the vehicle, providing vital insights to operators and fleet managers about performance and maintenance.
“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.
The Underhood 40’s advanced digital controls include:
Telematics
Built-in soft start
Safety controls
Enhanced diagnostics
Delivering 40 CFM with Weight Savings
Engineered for trucks and commercial vans, the Underhood 40 delivers up to 40 CFM at 100% duty cycle while freeing up truck deck and cargo space, and decreasing GVW by up to 290 pounds, the company said
Available now for most popular 2023 model year and newer commercial work trucks and vans, the Underhood 40 promises customers and partners enhanced performance and efficiency in their operations, according to VMAC.
“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.”
