EMP: Markets & Applications
Transit buses are typically used in cities and municipalities to transport individuals from point A to point B, generally along a pre-defined route. Because most transit buses are designed with the engine in the rear of the vehicle, many experience overheating in moderately high temperatures due to the lack of "ram air". This can cause engine overheating which ultimately can result in engine failure or engine fires. EMP has discovered that installing its' secondary cooling solutions can deliver more power to the wheels, improve fuel economy, eliminate engine downtime and reduce the risk of thermal events.

| Product | Application Description & Advantages |
| miniHybrid Thermal Kit | EMP's miniHybrid solution is an 8-fan thermal kit that replaces the mechanically driven hydraulic cooling system in conventional transit bus systems. The kit significantly increases safety by completely removing the hydraulic fan driven fluid system. In addition, several of EMP's customers have seen significant fuel savings of up to 10%. EMP's electric fans also have the capability to reverse in pre-defined intervals to reverse any unwanted debris from the radiator. With this, and the several other features of the miniHybrid, you can be rest assured that your transit buses will never experience downtime due to cooling issues. |
| Power 450 Alternator | The EMP Power 450 Brushless Alternator provides "best in class" performance at low speeds and idle. Air cooled, hazardous oil leaks are eliminated. A quick retrofit and perfect 50 DN drop-in replacement for more reliable power. |
| WP29 Electric Water Pump | EMP's WP29 Electric Water Pump is ideal for use as a recirculation pump in the Transit Bus market. Current recirculation pumps are expensive and offer limited flow options. However, the EMP WP29 Electric Water Pump offers 40% more flow and is fully programmable to optimize performance based upon the specific need. The WP29 is proven to warm-up school buses and transit buses much more quickly in winter months because of increased circulation from the engine. This saves time, heats and defrosts windows much quicker. Less engine idling reduces fuel costs. |
| OK1 Hydraulic Oil Cooler | EMP's Hydraulic Oil Cooler provides maximum cooling capacity to eliminate engine de-rate and hydraulics overheating on work truck and severe-duty applications. Available in 1-Fan and 2-Fan pack applications based upon specific cooling needs. |
