21 NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 m ETRO m AGAZINE > THERMO KING The Athenia E-Series air-conditioning modules from Thermo King is specifically designed for hybrid and electric buses to align with the latest sustainability trends and comply with regulatory directives. The modules are one-piece rooftop units that are fully-hermetic and electric-driven and offer high airflow and better circulation inside the bus for increased comfort. The design is relatively shorter compared to other rooftop heating, ventilating and air conditioning modules, which allows additional space on the roof of the bus for electric drive components. www.Thermoking.com LUMINATOR The next-generation TwinVision Smart Series III now includes surface-mount LEDs that are lighter weight and use a multi-functional, operator controlled panel that provides more color selection. www.luminatortechnologygroup.com WABTEC/TRANSTECH TransTech manufactures pantographs for heavy, light, commuter and high-speed rail as well as streetcar applications.
