Matched For Electric Drives

Gardner Denver’s electric compressors are designed to be effective for use in electrified drive systems. Efficiency therefore depends on the interface between on-board technology and the vehicle’s electronics. We offer a range of different drive configurations to support this interface and achieve the best possible performance.

e-Mobility Applications

The TV Series has been developed to provide high-quality compressed air across a range of different applications, ranging from 10-12m trucks and buses all the way up to 18m trolleybuses and metro systems. However, these products are also capable of providing where this is a high air and duty demand, such as HGVs, trolleybuses, metro systems and large articulated city buses that are often stopping and starting.

Ease Of Integration

Like other Gardner Denver products, this range has been designed to easily integrate into a vehicle’s chassis. Our compressor packages aim to keep size and weight to a minimum – this ensures that fitting is straight forward and any disruption to service is limited.

The TV Series can also be retrofitted for customers using a legacy ROL compressor.
