Remy International, Inc. today announced it will be supplying the EBO Group's subsidiary, eZEhybrid Drives, Inc. with the Remy HVH250 electric motor. The Remy motor will be used in the eZEhybrid((TM)) HPM OCED (hydraulic pump mount oil cooled electric drive) module for SAE hydraulic pump drives which enables the addition of electric power to hydraulic drives on construction and mining equipment.
The new eZEhybrid((TM)) OCED module is for SAE "C" mount hydraulic pump drives. Mobile equipment that already heavily relies upon hydraulic pumps can now be easily hybridized with eZEhybrid((TM)) HPM OCED modules that directly connect to standard SAE pump drive mounting faces. The Remy HVH250 electric motor will provide the power and torque necessary to enable the operation of equipment hydraulics without the engine operating. This will provide users a fuel savings and will result in zero emissions during HPM OCED operation.
The eZEhybrid(TM) OCED module using the Remy HVH250 has a peak power of 107 HP and continuously delivers 80 HP. The module weighs 130 lbs. and has a length of 17 inches. eZEhybrid Drives, Inc. is testing their new hydraulic pump mount motor with customers interested in this new technology. Production and sales are expected to begin in 2010.
Remy recently announced the HVH250 platform which is an advanced electric motor for hybrid or electric applications based on Remy's patented High Voltage Hairpin (HVH) technology. The HVH technology provides dramatically improved motor performance and cooling effectiveness. The world-class torque and power density allows for increased range in all-electric drive mode and the potential for a smaller internal combustion engine.
Remy CEO John Weber said, "We are looking forward to a strong relationship with eZEhybrid Drives and are pleased to already have our HVH250 technology being used in a wide array of diverse applications with customers. eZEhybrid Drives' integration of the HVH250 into their new SAE hydraulic pump mount motor is a great example of the scalability and adaptability of our HVH technology. We know the off-road and construction sectors have great potential for hybridization and we are confident the HVH250 and other technologies in our pipeline will make a tremendous impact on increasing efficiency and lowering fuel costs and emissions."
EBO Group Chairman Dave Heidenreich said, "We are happy to be working with Remy. They have a long history of reliability and their unique HVH technology is providing us with unmatched performance and power that we need for our new pump mount motor. The off-road industry has many opportunities that we are currently exploring and this partnership enables us to provide the highest quality motor to our customers."
