VMAC Global Technology Inc., a leading North American manufacturer of air compressors based out of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, has debuted its updated UNDERHOOD40 air compressor, complete with new advanced digital controls and telematics.
VMAC’s advanced digital controls integrate seamlessly with the vehicle, providing vital insights to operators and fleet managers about the performance and maintenance of their UNDERHOOD40 systems.
“Our goal at VMAC is to continuously improve and innovate,” explained Jamie McPherson, the Director of Engineering at VMAC. “The UNDERHOOD40’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 air compressor's advanced digital controls include 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 the industry standard J1939 interface,” noted Steve Danielewicz, the company’s Engineering Team Lead.
Engineered for trucks and commercial vans, the UNDERHOOD40 delivers up to 40 CFM at 100 percent duty cycle while freeing up truck deck and cargo space and decreasing GVW by up to 290 lb.
Available now for the most popular 2023+ model year commercial work trucks and vans, the UNDERHOOD40 with advanced digital controls and telematics promises customers and partners enhanced performance and efficiency in their operations.
With over 35 years of history, VMAC’s mobile air compressors and multi-power systems have earned a reputation for extraordinary design, build quality, durability, and reliability in extreme conditions among operators and fleet managers worldwide.
