eClimaCoach

Bergstrom, the most trusted name in climate systems for commercial vehicles, has now revolutionized the way motor coaches are heated and cooled.

eClimaCoach™ was developed in conjunction with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to produce the only battery electric no-idle HVAC system specifically tailored to the unique needs of motor coaches.

This system, along with a 1 kW solar panel also installed, was the recipient of the METRO Innovative Solutions award presented at BusCon on October 2, 2018.

YOUR MOTOR COACH JUST BECAME A WHOLE LOT MORE EFFICIENT.

THE BENEFITS

Reduced wear: Your engine deserves a break.

• Reduce engine idle time.
• Avoid cold starts: pre-heat the engine block when engine is off.
• Reduce frequency of scheduled engine maintenance.
• Reduce frequency of emissions system cleaning and maintenance.

Increased comfort: Cool down or heat up, on your terms.

• Pre-heat or pre-cool the coach interior before you even enter with wireless connectivity and auto start capability.
• Enhance A/C performance of existing system.
• Maintain interior temperature for up to 4 hours with engine off.

Green: Easy on the environment.

• Decrease idle time resulting in significant fuel savings.
• Reduce emissions with no-idle operation resulting in greenhouse gas reductions.

EFFICIENCY DOWN TO EVERY DETAIL.

Efficiency maximized with use of optional rooftop solar power

• 1 or 2 kW, 24V, flexible and durable solar panels provide additional electrical power.
• Maintain and condition batteries for increased battery life.
• Reduce starting loads and reduce normal electrical load on the alternator.
• Provide extended no-idle run time.
• Provides up to 11 kW of energy per day.

HVAC system specs

• Streamlined installation with minimal exterior modification, and use of the existing vehicle air distribution system.
• 8.7 kW A/C cooling (peak)
• 2.4 kW power (peak)
