CO2 reduction and efficiency savings are a major concern to many and companies are always looking for new products to reduce their carbon footprint and minimise unnecessary expenditure. Onboard Energy has developed a new product – the E-Cube – which will appeal to the wider hire market and ticks all environmental boxes and saves money too.
The E-Cube had its first deployment at Canary Wharf in support of a 'right to clean air' campaign
The E-cube mini is a portable, maintenance free, self-contained energy pod that delivers clean silent power anywhere it is needed. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with a generator or mains power supply.
Danny Jones MIET, Onboard Energy, said “Last year the product was a concept. We have now progressed to the point of having a production unit available and, this week, we had our first deployment at Canary Wharf in support of a ‘right to clean air’ campaign.
In this deployment we reduced generator running time by a whopping 75%, from 48 hours to just 12, with corresponding savings in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. We also then eliminated the need for a refuelling visit.”
At the heart of the concept of the E-Cube is energy efficiency. Working with a conventional generator, E-cube mini can reduce run-hours by up to 80% (depending on circumstances) and mean that a smaller generator can be used than would otherwise be required. Savings in generator fuel consumption, extended maintenance intervals and significant increase in lifespan are then achieved with the obvious cost savings. In addition, emissions and noise pollution are dramatically reduced too.
Typical applications for the E-Cube are in construction, site maintenance and emergency backup, outdoor events (weddings, exhibitions, sporting events etc), silent power in sensitive locations (night-time running of traffic lights for example), site welfare units and many more. E-cube also suits remote, unmanned locations where regular, costly refuelling visits can be significantly reduced in frequency.
Visitors to the Executive Hire Show will be able to see the E-Cube on the Off-Grid Energy stand – number E38. Put the 8th and 9th February 2012 in your diary and we’ll see you at the Ricoh Arena.
