ePower Flow Rack

The Sunfab ePower Flow Rack, by FTS is a permanently mounted highly efficient ePTO solution, delivering 30kW to 120kW of power. With a flexible and compact design, the Flow Rack can be mounted on the chassis, where there is available volume. 

It enables pure electric or hybrid operation with both electric and diesel power, offering an efficient solution for industries requiring flexibility, reduced emissions, fuel savings, and low operating noise levels. 

Internal batteries (Sunfab ePower Energy Storage), with a high energy density, allow for pure battery operation. The battery capacity is adapted to the need for both peak power and operational autonomy.

With the Sunfab ePower Flow Rack the drivability of your equipment will be equal or better than with fossil fuel powered solutions thanks to the benefits of electric drive.

The Sunfab ePower Flow Rack comes plug and play ready for easy installation and operation independent of chassis OEM.
