Intelligent Power Technology® (IPT) upgrade kits are now available. Intelligent Power Technology® is an advanced smart system that automatically turns generators on and off depending on real-time demands. The kits include all the parts and labour hours to perform the upgrade. The full upgrade kit consists of converting an analog generator to an IPT generator with digital control panel, the converting of the ECU to allow for load shedding and the installation of the quiet fan. The interface, electrical set and other key components are replaced by a DRASH-certified technician. There are also Analog-to-IPT Generator Kits that convert the generator only. DRASH™ Trailers with Intelligent Power Technology® have been deployed around the globe and are US Army-approved as the new standard for the TMSS Program.

Costs of upgrading vs. new trailer purchase:

  • For a fraction of the cost of a new IPT system, an existing analog system can be completely converted to digital and incorporated into a micro-grid
  • An entire Brigade TOC (1 TMSS Large and 8 TMSS Mediums) can be converted to IPT for about the price of one Intelligent Power TMSS Large
