TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A surge of interest from a number of diverse industries caused Cool Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:WARM) to accelerate the planned upgrade of its Mobile Power Generation (MG) system’s controller code to ensure maximum adaptability and sell-through. The software was rewritten to accommodate new applications, vehicles and vehicle manufacturers.
On Monday, Tim Hassett, Cool Tech’s CEO, announced “The software upgrade to our 80 kVA MG system will be finished within weeks. The Company is now taking pre-orders with deposits.” He added, “We’ll follow the same accelerated strategy and sales plan with our MG 125 system which will be completed this year.”
The catalyst for the upgrade was the company’s April demonstration at Craftsmen Industries before a live audience and online via video streaming as well as subsequent demonstrations at events in Louisville, Chicago and Pittsburgh.
Originally, Cool Tech had planned to commercialize its technology by starting with the line of Ford Trucks it had successfully converted and expanding to other manufacturers and applications in a sequential process. All that remained to make the system production-ready were a few minor tweaks to the software.
Audience interest changed that. Disaster relief providers, buyers for the US Military and other truck manufacturers and distributors present wanted private demos for those who didn’t attend.
Viewers who watched on-line contacted the company and requested meetings. The company heard from a global battery manufacturer interested in the no-idle option, a truck up-fitter heavily invested in natural gas conversions and a developer of hydrogen fuel cells who flew in to meet with the CEO. Their interest: alternative energy (the MG System is fuel agnostic. It runs on whatever the vehicle runs on). Each saw a natural tie-in. Each offered a new revenue stream. And each had different software or vehicle requirements.
