With millions of children (and their parents) relying on transportation to
and from school, it’s imperative that each district’s bus fleet is always ready
to run. The same is true for city or municipal snowplow trucks or any other
utility truck that performs a daily job that others count on.
If you manage or service school buses, utility vehicles, heavy duty trucks or
other vehicles that have to contend with heavy electrical loads as part of
their daily operating routine, then you know that reliability and durability
matter—and the Delco Remy 28SI High Output Alternator is the most ideal
product on the market to provide the reliability needed for such heavy duty
applications.
Some of the 28SI’s unique features include:
•
Duel internal fans: With a fan in the front and another in the back,
dual internal fans provide greater circulation over the alternator’s
electronics. As a result, the alternator runs at dramatically lower
temperatures and, most importantly, improves the operating
efficiency and durability of the unit. With under-hood temperatures
reaching as high as 125 ºC (257 ºF), the 28SI is designed for today’s
applications.
•
Versatility: With output ranges of 160, 180 and 200 amps–as well as
three different industry mounting styles–the 28SI meets the demands
of multiple heavy duty applications that require extra power for
today’s needs.

•
Remote Sense: Highly accurate voltage readings optimize battery
state-of-charge and result in improved efficiency and longer overall
battery life. (

Warranty: The 28SI has proven to be remarkably durable. To show our
confidence, we back it up with a two-year, unlimited-mile warranty
for school buses and a one-year, unlimited-mile warranty for all other
applications.
A return on your investment
An efficient alternator can more than pay for itself in less than one year. Over the life of the vehicle, these savings can reach into the thousands of dollars.
•
Here’s why: As the alternator more efficiently converts mechanical power into electrical power, less fuel is consumed. And even though the power demands of the alternator are generally small in comparison to the overall vehicle, the impact on fuel cost is remarkable.
•
Proven results: Operating data was collected on school bus applications in order to identify what was actually occurring over the course of the school week and the impact it had on the electrical system. Compared to other standard industry models, Delco Remy high output alternators showed fuel cost savings of $1507*/ 250k mi, or 20 percent.
