The H POD mini
The French Ministry of the Interior has chosen the HPOD MINI to equip lightweight emergency vehicles.
The Ministry of the Interior considered it essential that this equipment procurement project should take the principles of sustainable development and environmental issues into account.
'The solution had to be completely stand-alone, silent and eco-friendly'.
It was essential for the vehicles to have a permanent on-board 230 V power supply to run high-tech satellite control and scanner equipment.
After studying the technical feasibility and practical solutions considered, and given the Ministry's desire to set an example on environmental issues, seven vehicles have been equipped with HPOD MINI Nomads.
They combine an alternative energy solution, performance and reduced environmental footprint.
For 4 years now Hybrid Energy, based in Brittany, has been developing unique stand-alone hybrid power supply solutions: the HPOD range.
The latest development of this technology has made it possible to create the MINI range, providing 24-hour electricity in all types of equipment, such as:
• vehicles compatible with the new euro 5 and 6 pollution standards,
• modular buildings, mobile homes, temporary sales offices,
• construction sites.
HPOD MINIs supply tools, computer equipment, etc. without a mains connection or generator set.
The HPOD is recharged using the mains, photovoltaic panels and the vehicle alternator, and offers a range of AGM or Lithium Ion batteries starting from 3 kWh.
Three available power ratings:
800 W, 2,400 W or 4,000 W as a built-in model with sockets and control panel or integrated to be hidden in the equipment. All are supplied fully cabled, ready to use: it requires no special skill to install or use: it is 'Plug&Play' and maintenance-free. 3-year guarantee* (except AGM battery, 1 year).
The HPOD and HPOD MINI ranges are manufactured in France.
