REV Technology

What is MDS™ Technology?

 

REV's Modular Drive System technology is a complete, modular drive and intelligent energy storage system that enables rapid prototyping and platform integration in a wide variety of vehicles on the market today. Using REV's plug and play components and assemblies, on-board integrated systems operate the vehicle's drive, communications and charging equipment necessary for complete electrification.

MDS technology incorporates an advanced AC drive permanent magnet motor, single-speed transmission, modular battery packs and is managed by a wireless-enabled power electronics and vehicle control system.

 

Using MDS technology, both commercial fleets and OEM automakers can rapidly transform an entire line of vehicles to operate using only electricity, reducing on average 200 tons of emissions and saving thousands of dollars in operational costs across the life of each electrified vehicle.

Intelligent Energy Storage System (iESS)

 

iESS is more than just energy storage. An intelligent energy storage system that is part of an integrated vehicle communications network has the capability of acting as a silent mobile Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and can provide significant amounts of power when needed. Some applications can include:

  • Peak shaving for power utilities
  • Emergency power supply in commercial and residential buildings
  • Off-grid energy storage for renewable power production
  • Event power support services
  • Powering equipment and tools in emergency response or construction sites
  • Low heat signature military backup power supply

Using REV's internet and phone-enabled control applications, vehicles incorporating iESS technology can also be monitored and managed remotely, providing flexibility and control over a vehicle's energy usage and consumption.
