Clean School Bus Program Compliant
VMAC’s electric air compressor technology is compliant with the EPA’s Clean School Bus Program standards, making it an excellent choice for school bus procurements with grant funding. All VMAC compressor designs are zero-emissions, meeting the EPA’s goals for cleaner, healthier air, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
We Build Reliability™
Communities across North America depend on school buses to get kids to school and allow their parents to work. VMAC designs consider the quality, energy efficiency, and longevity of every component, helping school buses run in even the most demanding environments. VMAC electric compressors are engineered to withstand harsh road conditions and diverse climates, ensuring reliability from the humid south to the freezing north.
Superior Rotary Screw Performance
Rotary screw compressors deliver a consistent, high-quality air supply for critical school bus functions, including braking and air suspension systems. Rotary technology is more efficient than other common technologies and eliminates typical problems such as air pulsation, overheating, difficulties controlling speed, and complex maintenance routines. Rotary screw air compressors are also more resistant to damage and failures resulting from intake contaminants, making them a resilient and reliable choice.
Lightweight, Compact Designs
Featuring space-saving designs, VMAC systems integrate seamlessly without adding significant weight to any electric school bus. VMAC’s compressor and motor weigh as little as 30 kg (67 lb) and require only 0.03 m3 (2.21 ft3) / 34.2L (2090 in3) of space.
Reduced Noise Pollution
The only sound you should hear from a school bus is happy kids. VMAC electric air compressors are almost silent, providing a tranquil environment for passengers and the community. When paired with an integrated motor package, VMAC systems include an optional sound enclosure to reduce ambient motor noise.
Fast & Simple Maintenance
Designed for easy access and simple maintenance, VMAC rotary screw air compressors have a quick service routine that’s only required twice a year* and can be easily completed between morning and afternoon school runs.
*Service intervals may vary with extraordinary use.
VMAC’s groundbreaking electric air brake compressors are meticulously designed for the new generation of zero-emission school buses. Using technology that is sustainable, efficient, and reliable, VMAC’s electric compressor is an excellent match for OEMs creating innovative zero-emission school buses.
