E-Quipment Highlight: iPad-Sized 70 kW Electric PTO by Windrose
Windrose introduces a compact electric power take-off unit targeting commercial fleet applications.
Windrose has debuted an electric power take-off unit designed to fit in the footprint of an iPad while delivering 70 kilowatts of output.
What Happened
Electrek reported that Windrose unveiled a compact electric PTO system. The unit is described as iPad-sized and rated at 70 kW, suggesting applications for commercial vehicles requiring auxiliary power without engine idling.
Why It Matters
Electric PTOs allow fleet operators to run equipment—such as lifts, pumps, or refrigeration units—using battery power rather than the main engine. This can reduce fuel consumption and emissions during stationary operations. Windrose's compact form factor may expand adoption among vehicles with limited installation space.
The Bottom Line
Details on pricing, availability, or specific vehicle applications were not available in the source material.
