Hazmat /Command Vehicles Power Supply System

Our Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) / Command vehicles are equipped with two sets of batteries, one supplying power to the cab chassis and one supplying power to the house (rear) batteries.

The chassis battery voltages are maintained via a single 750w charger, powered when the vehicle is plugged into the mains or when powered by the on-board generator.

The house battery voltages are maintained by two 750w power supplies. One provides 24VDC, including an 1800w 240V inverter. This supplies power to essential devices in the rear of the vehicle and battery. The other is a battery charger which is switched on only if the house battery voltage drops significantly.

Fire and Emergency wishes to upgrade this existing configuration for all the house battery requirements. We require a power management system to be designed and installed in 18 of our Hazmat / Command Unit vehicles.

Opportunities will be provided to respondents to view a vehicle at a suitable time to assess the existing system and to measure the available space to assist with design and concept. Please send a request for a visit through the question area of GETS stating what location you are in.

Please note that the Agreement for Goods and Services template will be added as an addendum seperately.
