ELECTRIC AIR BRAKE COMPRESSORS FOR TRANSIT BUSES

VMAC air brake compressors for transit buses were developed in collaboration with a multinational bus manufacturer and have been successfully utilized in North American zero-emission transit buses. These advanced compressor and motor packages deliver consistent and clean compressed air for air brake, air ride, kneeling, and accessory applications.

TRANSIT COMPRESSOR SPEC HIGHLIGHTS

  • Electric air compressors with ICPU motor and sound shroud
  • Superior rotary screw technology
  • 142-610 LPM (5-21.5 CFM)
  • 7-14 bar (100-200 psi)
  • Quiet, lightweight & compact designs

MADE FOR MODERN TRANSIT APPLICATIONS

VMAC’s electric air compressor technology is designed for modern transit applications, meeting and exceeding the regulatory requirements and APTA standards for zero-emission transit buses. VMAC has worked closely with transit bus OEMs to design, manufacture, and implement an elite compressed air solution.

WE BUILD RELIABILITY™

It’s critical for transit buses to stay on schedule and meet the relentless demand of 24/7 commutes. Every component used in VMAC systems has been carefully considered for energy efficiency, durability, and quality to ensure the best performance possible. VMAC compressors are designed and manufactured in North America to endure rigorous city conditions, including New York’s humidity, Florida’s heat, and Canada’s freezing winters. All VMAC compressors are backed by extensive warranties.

ROTARY SCREW ADVANTAGE

Transit bus technology has evolved as zero-emission buses demand better longevity and performance. Rotary screw air compressors offer superior efficiency than competing technologies while eliminating common challenges, including air pulsation, overheating, and speed control issues. Critically, rotary technology is also less susceptible than other technologies to damage and failures caused by intake contaminants and can be maintained without disassembly.

LIGHTWEIGHT, COMPACT DESIGNS

Every kilogram and centimetre counts when designing today’s zero-emission buses. Weighing as little as 30 kg (67 lb) , VMAC’s electric air compressor and motor add minimal weight to any transit application. These same systems take up only 0.03 m3 (2.21 ft3) / 34.2L (2090 in3) of space under the bus.

QUIET OPERATION

VMAC air compressor technology is whisper-quiet, while integrated motor packages include sound enclosures, helping bus drivers, their passengers, and the community as a whole enjoy a peaceful commute.

QUICK & EASY MAINTENANCE

VMAC’s rotary screw air compressors are easy to maintain due to thoughtful design, easy access points, and a simple maintenance routine. Scheduled maintenance service can be performed in just a few minutes, helping keep fleets on the go.
