Motive Power Solution Combines Leading Fast Charge System with Batteries and Services for a Complete Turnkey Approach to Power Management for Multi-Shift Operations
MONROVIA, Calif., Feb. 19, 2009 - AeroVironment, Inc. (AV) (NASDAQ: AVAV) today announced that it has introduced a new, turnkey program for delivering the benefits of its PosiCharge(TM) solution to customers operating electric material handling fleets in multi-shift operations. The Total Power Solution (ToPS) includes a selection of services, such as customized charger and battery configurations, asset leasing, guaranteed service and maintenance, and asset disposal, all in a one-stop program.
"Customers have told us that they need a single point of contact that understands how to optimize the energy component of their fleet management system. This turnkey approach helps customers focus on their core business, and leave the details of their batteries and chargers to us," said Mike Bissonette, senior vice president and general manager of AV's Efficient Energy Systems segment. "Built around the strength of our broad line of industrial electric vehicle chargers, ToPS is another way that we can help our customers manage costs and resources more efficiently and with greater effect."
Instead of working with multiple entities for chargers, batteries and support services, customers can now make a single monthly payment and have a single point of contact for all their electric material handling motive energy needs.
