First Responder Vehicles
Many first responding vehicles need heavy-duty alternators to function through their everyday schedule. Many alternators are not sufficient enough to handle the electrical loads needed. A lot of the emergency vehicles are equipped with factory alternators, which are more reliable than passenger cars, but need to rev up their engines so that the alternators can have the adequate electrical load.
Since many emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks, spend a majority of their time at idle – the engine and electrical energy will wear out. Fire engines will spend spend many hours at idle, on average 8,709 hours at idle a year. Buying an Eco-ech alternator will reduce the wear of the battery life.
What will the Echo-Tech Alternator Do?
The Echo-Tech alternator will have a high output, high RPM alternator that can power through jobs many alternators will struggle. “An Eco-Tech alternator can satisfy an output of 260 Amperes at 1,800 RPM, while our competitors’ typically need to operate at a very noisy, fuel consuming 3,000 RPM.” Out alternators do not require the unneeded maintenance, and will not breakdown as compared to our competitors. It saves on battery replacement and wear of the engine.
Better for the Environment
Eco Alternators create less of a carbon footprint than most other vehicle alternators. They reduce engine drag by up to 50 percent and give off less toxic emissions. They offer superior performance at idle, while improving fuel economy. It can do all of this without sacrificing voltage, and eliminates the high output at idle.
How an Eco-Tech Alternator Can Save You Money
Since our alternators use 50 percent less drag, it shows a large reduction in pollution and toxic fumes into the environment. Many Alternators have this problem with wasted fuel. People who invest in an Eco-Tech alternator in a basic heavy truck can save on average $1,000 a year. Just from the first year of use, the savings alone will pay for the cost of the alternator.

The fix for high electrical loads at low engine RPM
/in FAQTo find out the fix for high electrical loads at low engine RPM, please read our Medium article. From large fire trucks to small cars, our alternators can power anything. Our competitors need a much higher engine RPM to produce the same electrical output. Our alternators are specially designed to increase the lifespan of the engine. So what happens when a regular alternator can no longer supply the sufficient need of electrical supply? In a regular stock holder, the battery life will take over when the electricity can no longer. By using a heavy-duty alternator, it can eliminate this problem, and extend the battery life of your alternator. Our alternators are as reliable as handling the energy of the most important emergency vehicles, and reduce its carbon footprint – so do not wait to install your heavy duty Eco-Tech alternator. You will save money, and save time from installing all of the unnecessary add-ons from the competing alternators.
High amp alternator for Ford E Series
/in FAQThe E-series is powerful – a look at the 2016 Ford models reveals a 6.8L Triton V-10 engine. However, the stock or common OEM replacement alternator for these vehicles is a mere 130 amp alternator. Let’s think for a second how these vehicles are used. Construction, maintenance, utility, emergency service vehicles, and food trucks all sit at idle for long periods of time. A powerful engine is ideal – but these trucks simply don’t have the powerful alternators equipped to handle the large electrical loads produced at engine idle.
However, Eco-Tech alternators are created exactly with these types of vehicles in mind. An Eco-Tech alternator can generate 260 Amperes, double than the stock alternator output in a Ford E-series. In addition to the amp difference, these alternators are specially built to withstand large electrical loads at idle, without producing a spike in the voltage. A stock alternator simply cannot handle large electrical loads, and over time, will cease to work.
Other benefits of choosing Eco-Tech over stock include:

Let’s for a moment take a look at the Ford F-650 and F-750. These heavy-duty vehicles are not just regular trucks – both are capable of towing up to 37,000 pounds, and these trucks are terrific for construction, towing companies, and utility companies. However, the stock or OEM replacement alternator for these trucks is a simple, 130 amp alternator.
A stock alternator in these heavy-duty trucks is a poor idea; whereas an Eco-Tech alternator is specifically designed for large electrical loads in maintenance and heavy-duty vehicles. Using an Eco-Tech alternator over a stock or OEM part will:

Why does a heavy duty vehicle require a special alternator?
/in FAQLooking back at commuter cars or SUVs for a second, let’s think again about the electrical load required to be satisfied by their alternators. There are not electrically powered devices beyond the radios, dash and head lights, and heating/air conditioning fans that alternators need to power. In a vehicle such as a fire truck, however, there is an enormous electrical load , especially when the vehicle is operating at idle working at the scene of a fire. The same goes for refuse collection vehicles and utility company bucket trucks – all of these vehicles have one thing in common: a large electrical load that must be satisfied at idle. A simple, run of the mill stock alternator does not handle this well. The most important specification for these types of vehicles is a heavy duty alternator that performs well at low engine RPM and at engine idle.
