HONG KONG – Johnson Electric has introduced a new cooling fan product line for hybrid and electric vehicles. The cooling fan module (CFM EV) is designed to have extremely long life to continuously manage the battery temperature during the operating and recharge cycles of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles, according to the company. The CFM EV is launched under the GATE brand and designed to maximize airflow with compact size, low weight and quiet operation.
