Atlas Copco has opened its first production line dedicated to the assembly of low carbon electric compressors, a move the Belgium manufacturer says will cut lead times for its E-Air VSD units by half.
The investment is in response to the “unprecedented growth of consumer interest in clean energy tech,” according to the company, and will double the daily production capacity of the E-Air. The new production line is powered by green electricity, including extensive solar panels on site.
“The dedicated E-Air production line is a tangible symbol of our commitment to a sustainable transformation,” said Bert Derom, president of Atlas Copco Portable Air Division, in a statement. “We are embracing innovation that meets our customer and partner demands for efficient low carbon solutions, while simultaneously lowering our own emissions.”
