Dual fans increase alternator’s efficiency
Delco Remy’s 24SI HP alternator has a dual internal fan design that provides maximum cooling and increased air circulation, thereby enabling it to operate at lower temperatures and improving efficiency. The alternator produces 160 amps of output at normal vehicle operating speeds and 100 amps at engine-idle speeds. It features a large bearing with a slinger for contamination protection and a large rotor shaft.

Student tracking system delivers data in real time
ZPass is a patented, Web- and RFID card-based student tracking system. Each student is issued a personal RFID card. When students enter and disembark a bus, a reader mounted in the vehicle scans the cards, and the time, date and their location are logged and transmitted to a secure database that can be accessed from any Web browser with Zonar Systems’ Ground Traffic Control application.
