SAN FRANCISCO — With the goal to increase patient access to healthcare through a mobile unit with reduced vehicle emissions, Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO) announced today the development of the first all-electric Mobile Lung Unit (eMLU). Powered by a Ford F-53 based EPIC^® 6 all-electric chassis from Motiv Power Systems, the specialty healthcare vehicle features the state-of-the-art Samsung NeuroLogica BodyTom Elite ^®, the world’s first portable, full-body, 32-slice CT scanner.

The eMLU vehicle is wrapped featuring the American Lung Association and the Ad Council’s Saved By The Scan initiative to promote the early detection of lung cancer through screening. According to the American Lung Association, approximately 8 million people in the U.S. are at high risk for lung cancer and are eligible for screening. While the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends lung cancer screening through low-dose CT scanners for those considered at high risk, screening is currently underutilized. To help increase awareness and availability of screening for those considered high risk, the eMLU can travel city-to-city to provide easy access to lung diagnostic services.  Individuals can take a lung cancer screening eligibility quiz at SavedByTheScan.org.

Winnebago is displaying the vehicle in San Francisco, at both CALSTART’s Global Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero Workshop on September 11th and the Global Climate Action Summit September 12-14, 2018.

“We are proud to help increase access to life-saving lung cancer screenings in the clean, quiet and emissions free environment of the first all-electric Mobile Lung Unit,” said Ashis Bhattacharya, Vice President, Strategic Planning and Development, and leader of Winnebago’s Specialty Vehicles Division. “As states provide incentives and broaden anti-idling laws, we expect the medical community to adopt the customizable all-electric community outreach vehicle for a variety of functions, such as lung cancer screening, asthma management and support, blood donation, dentistry or primary care.”

“Health systems are continuously looking for more efficient ways to deliver high-quality care to patients in the community, especially those patients beyond their immediate sphere of care,” said David Webster, Chief Operating Officer of NeuroLogica. “One way to do this is through the use of mobile medical units. With its self-sufficient battery power, the BodyTom Elite-equipped electric Winnebago is ideally suited for these mobile care environments, while doing so the “green” way. We look forward to patients receiving emissions-free lung cancer screenings with the electric mobile lung unit.”

Mobile Lung Unit features:

• The world’s first portable, battery-powered, full-body, 32-slice CT scanner, BodyTom, featuring an innovative internal drive system that can be easily transported
• Motiv Power Systems all-electric/zero-emissions EPIC chassis, removing the need to idle an engine
• Vehicle holds enough charge for eight hours of service plus round-trip travel to and from its home facility
• Vehicle charges to half its full capacity in two hours and 75 percent of capacity in four hours
• Vehicle has completed significant road testing and delivers an expected range of 85 to 125 miles on a full charge.

Winnebago partnered with Motiv Power Systems, Inc., the U.S. market leader in chassis for medium-duty electric vehicles, for the development and supply of the EPIC all-electric powered chassis after their joint strategic partnership announcement earlier this year. Based on the average cost of fuel in the US, the eMLU is expected to save $150,000-$200,000 in combined diesel fuel and maintenance savings. Winnebago anticipates the ROI of eMLU vehicles compared to internal combustion engine versions to be as little as three years.

“The world’s first all-electric Mobile Lung Unit is a big milestone in the trend of bringing care direct to the consumer without harming patients, health, or the environment,” said Jim Castelaz, Motiv CEO & Founder. “Motiv’s Ford eQVM approved EPIC all-electric chassis, paired with Winnebago Industries’ highly regarded commercial shell, brings unparalleled reliable performance and functionality as we work together to electrify the speciality vehicle market.”

School districts across California are taking advantage of generous state funding initiatives to replace aging diesel powered fleets with all-electric school buses powered by Motiv Power Systems. Creative Bus Sales, the nation’s leading bus dealer, took purchase orders for eighteen new zero-emissions Starcraft eQuest XL school buses, slated for delivery to districts throughout the state this fall.

“With more than 400,000 Motiv powered all-electric miles to date, we are thrilled to see more schools taking advantage of zero-emission school buses,” said Motiv founder and CEO Jim Castelaz. “The eQuest XL has been a proven performer, and is ideally suited for urban districts, so it isn’t a surprise that it has been so well received. Offering both sales and service, Creative Bus Sales has been an excellent partner for us and we look forward to continue to show school districts how easy and affordable it has become for schools to transition their fleets off of fossil fuels.”

The eQuest XL school buses are built on the Ford F59-based Motiv EPIC 6 chassis. The CARB certified, all-electric buses provide a maximum capacity of forty-eight passengers and, with ninety miles of range, provide ample capacity to complete their routes on a single charge. The eQuest XL buses also sport flexible ADA seating that can be configured to accommodate up to eight wheelchairs for routes serving students with special needs.

“Ford, Motiv and Starcraft are a perfect match. They are each industry leaders, and together, have a track record of delivering reliable, consistent performance” said Joe Angeli, School Bus Sales Manager at Creative Bus Sales. “Schools prefer the all-electric Starcraft eQuest XL for its unparalleled driving experience and ability to navigate congested city streets, while providing a smooth, quiet and emissions free ride.”

Districts receiving Motiv powered school buses include seven Los Angeles districts (Los Angeles Unified School District, Covina-Valley Unified School District, Montebello Unified School District, Anaheim Elementary School District, Savanna School District, Coachella Valley Unified School, and Magnolia School District), Brawley Elementary School District in the San Diego region, and Gateway Unified School District in Redding California. These districts join those in Long Island, Sacramento, Kings Canyon and San Bernardino in transitioning to all-electric Motiv powered buses.

FOSTER CITY, Calif. — With two new purchases from Educational Bus Transportation Inc., along with new regional sales and field technician support, Motiv Power Systems continues to expand its presence on the East Coast as incentive programs and regulations create demand for all-electric school buses.

Educational Bus Transportation had previously deployed a Motiv powered Trans Tech eSeries Type A school bus in New York in 2014 and this new order comes on the heels of a deployment of thirteen Trans Tech electric buses to school districts in the Sacramento region this year. Motiv’s bi-coastal expansion is supported by incentive driven demand in both New York and California as well as a regulatory climate accelerating the adoption of battery electric vehicles for school districts and other markets.

“Motiv Power Systems has proven to be a strong partner for us,” said John Phraner, President of Trans Tech. “With Ford approved technology on the E450 chassis, we are able offer an electric version of our popular and proven Type A school bus without the need to reinvent the wheel. Over the years, battery electric technology’s reliability and performance has continued to improve, resulting in a proven and reliable bus. Motiv’s increased East Coast presence further supports our confidence in Motiv’s commitment to support our growing electric school bus fleet.”

“New York and California are both very attractive markets for battery electric vehicle applications,” said Kash Sethi, Director of Sales for Motiv Power Systems. “The regulatory climate, available funding programs, and population density to suit fixed route applications support fossil fueled fleets to make the transition to electric. As a company with headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve always had a strong presence on the West Coast. With growing demand for electric fleet vehicles, we are ramping up our East Coast footprint in 2018 and beyond.”

Based on the popular Ford E-450 and F-59, Motiv’s Type A and C school bus chassis are eQVM approved by Ford and feature CARB certification for 50-state emissions exemption. In addition to electric school buses, Motiv’s electric chassis are also utilized in electric shuttle buses, delivery trucks, walk in vans, trolley buses and other specialty applications. Collectively, Motiv powered vehicles have covered more than 400,000 real world miles to date from their U.S. deployments.
