The technology company VINCORION based in Wedel has signed a contract for the delivery of more than 700 EPG huskyV W 600 onboard generators for the Boxer. Additional orders for future projects are expected, meaning orders for a total of more than 1,000 generators are anticipated. This demonstrates the performance of the company\u2019s military energy systems in armored vehicles, too.<\/p>\n
The new VINCORION generator, the EPG huskyV W 600, is a water-cooled onboard generator for use in all scenarios: in the Boxer, it can see to the vehicle\u2019s power supply as well as supplying the various mission modules as it supplies power of up to 600 amperes, making it ready for future requirements, too. A new digital voltage regulator has been incorporated, enabling the generator to be adapted to different applications.<\/p>\n
VINCORION has now signed a framework agreement with KNDS Germany. \u201cDelivery of the generator for the Boxer is a very important order for us,\u201d says Dr. Stefan Stenzel, managing director of VINCORION. \u201cThis tells us demand for the Boxer remains high. It also shows that manufacturers of modern military technology are placing their trust in VINCORION components and are using these to equip their vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n
The order currently amounts to approximately twelve million euros. The company anticipates additional orders being placed for these modern generators.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new generator fits perfectly in the vehicles\u2019 installation space,\u201d explains Stenzel. This means that, in addition to all new vehicles, existing vehicles could likewise be equipped with it if demand for power grows. The predecessor model, the SF 217, was able to deliver 370 amperes, and this has been increased to 600 amperes in the new version. \u201cModern military technology requires more energy, among other things for communications and air conditioning. We are specialists in the field of military energy supplies. Be it power supplies for sophisticated electronics or for radar systems, our generator reliably supplies the energy needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Intensive vehicle testing with the Boxer featuring the new generator system has already been conducted in the UK and Australia. The new EPG huskyV W 600 model has therefore already demonstrated its reliability. The VINCORION engineers also report that its performance remained stable at all times in vehicle test-drives of more than 1,000 kilometers conducted in Switzerland. The water cooling of the generator means it can operate irrespective of the ambient conditions.<\/p>\n
The temperatures in the cooling circuit can increase significantly without adversely affecting performance. The generator is also water-resistant in accordance with protection class IP 67. \u201cThe generator experiences next to no losses due to changing ambient temperatures. It therefore delivers peak performance at all times,\u201d emphasizes Stenzel.<\/p>\n
The EPG huskyV W 600 is manufactured at the VINCORION plant in Essen, which also produces generators<\/strong> for the Leopard 2 tank and the Puma infantry fighting vehicle. A number of the parts such as mechanical components come from the company headquarters in Wedel. VINCORION has built up considerable expertise in generators at its Essen site \u2013 and this is what the major contract is founded on. The company also anticipates being able to recruit additional skilled workers as a result of the order.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The technology company VINCORION based in Wedel has signed a contract for the delivery of more than 700 EPG huskyV W 600 onboard generators for the Boxer.
