Modine's Thermal Management for REV’s All-Electric Fire Truck

Modine Manufacturing Company, a thermal management technology and solutions company, announced an expansion of its partnership with REV Group and its fire apparatus manufacturing brands E-ONE, KME, Ferrara and Spartan Emergency Response. Modine will supply its EVantage thermal management systems for the Vector, an all-electric fire truck. 

Each Vector fire truck will be equipped with the complete suite of Modine thermal management systems, including the EVantage Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS), Electronics Cooling Package (ECP), and cabin heating and cooling circuits. These systems work together seamlessly to maintain optimal battery temperature, efficiently cool power electronics, and ensure passenger comfort in the cab, respectively.

The all-electric Vector was introduced by REV Group in August 2021 to build on a commitment to green, energy-efficient technology. Equipped with 327 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of automotive-grade batteries, the truck provides a long electric pumping duration. 

"As the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable vehicles continues to grow, our partnership with REV Group represents a significant opportunity to reduce tailpipe emissions in the firefighting industry while ensuring reliable operation of fire and emergency vehicles,” said Gina Maria Bonini, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Thermal Systems at Modine.
