Megapulse manufactures a Patented Pulse Technology which reduces down-time in vessels, vehicles and equipment by drastically reducing battery degradation. The technology has helped Volvo, Scania, Mercedes and MAN in Europe to reduce electrical system faults in their vehicles, from an average of 50%, down to below 1%, and increase on-board battery service-life, from an average of two years to more than five years. As a result, these OEM manufacturers have fitted over 150,000 new commercial vehicles with Megapulse Technology.
