Crosspoint Kinetics Signs New Distributors for Kinetics Hybrid Product
Crosspoint Kinetics, which develops and delivers bolt-on solutions principally for delivery vans and trucks that measurably conserve, capture and reuse energy, has signed on two additional distributors — Allegiant Partners and TGEP.
In the Chicago area, TGEP (The Green Electric Project) is quickly becoming a leader in alternative energy and green transportation solutions. The company’s warehouse is centrally located in the busy transportation and logistics corridor of Crest Hill, Ill., where it can connect with hundreds of fleets daily. They are also able to help commercial fleets obtain Drive Clean Chicago vouchers, which could pay for more than 80% of the cost of a Kinetics Hybrid.
Allegiant Partners, owners of Work Truck Direct and Step Van Direct, sells and finances step vans and work trucks throughout the country from their California offices. The company, most noted for it’s sourcing, financing and leasing of FedEx Ground and FedEx Home delivery for contractors nationwide, is extending its offering to exclusively include the Kinetics Hybrid. For fleets looking to pay as they save, Allegiant can also finance the purchase of the hybrid systems for installation on new or recently new trucks, buses, and delivery vans.
“Clients are asking for proven solutions that can help them run their fleets more efficiently and economically,” said Allegiant Partners VP Business Development, Mike Helder. “Because it is easy to bolt-on and easy to use, the Kinetics Hybrid is a logical choice for fleet managers of step vans and work trucks looking to substantially cut fuel costs.”
The Kinetics Hybrid, a parallel electric hybrid system, makes class 3-7 delivery vans and work trucks more fuel-efficient and cleaner running. The system captures kinetic energy while slowing and braking, transforms energy into electricity that is stored in long-life ultra-capacitors, and reuses that energy as incremental power to launch and accelerate the vehicle.
Users have reported up to 30 percent more miles per gallon and a comparable reduction in emissions when the hybrid is used in heavy start/stop duty cycles.
“Our distributors are on the front lines with fleet owners and managers everyday so truly they understand their goals and challenges,” said Amy Dobrikova, VP of Strategy & Business Development for Crosspoint Kinetics. “TGEP and Allegiant are great ambassadors for our system and will allow more fleets to see just what the Kinetics Hybrid can do for them.”
