Company Background
THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY

UQM is a developer and manufacturer of complete electric drive systems

In business since 1967, focus on electric drives since 1984 Traditionally an R&D organization, transition to manufacturing began in 1998, with several products now in volume production (thousands per year) Motor products focus on brushless permanent magnet technology up to 150 kW (200 hp) Vehicle experience includes buses, on-road cars and trucks, and off-road military and agricultural equipment Products also include DC/DC and DC/AC inverters

PowerPhase 100 Specification - Motor

Application within Buses

THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY

Two 100 kW motors are generally appropriate for 35-40 buses (series hybrid or fuel cell) One 100 kW motor is appropriate for parallel hybrid systems Motors may drive individual wheels through gear reductions Motors may be oriented in-line to drive an axle

UQM Bus Experience

THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY

Electric machines and controllers for the Denver Regional Transportation Districts hybrid bus fleet (36 buses) Selected to provide prototypes to Mobile Energy Solutions for an advanced fuel cell bus Electric motors and controllers for the AVS bus fleet Participant in the Advanced Technology Transit Bus (ATTB) program in 1996 Electric drive systems for a prototype hybrid Orion bus, put into service in 1994

Conclusions
THE POWER IN POWER TECHNOLOGY

UQMs investment in the manufacturing of a proven drive system will make a good candidate for advanced buses of all types (hybrid or fuel cell) Leveraging this system for cars, trucks, and buses will benefit all users with low-cost, proven propulsion Please contact UQM for additional information: - Jon Lutz, Director of Engineering: jlutz@uqm.com - Andrew Roberts, Sales Engineer: aroberts@uqm.com - Phone Number: 303-278-2002
