Antonov’s solution allows the alternator to provide full electronic control of the speed, and match the output of a larger and more expensive single-speed alternators with two different speeds.
It is capable of replacing two or more alternators that are often required for heavy-duty vehicle applications.
Antonov will carry out the engineering design work in cooperation with Prestolite Electric, a major manufacturer of alternators and electrical motors.
