Modine currently produces complete electric vehicle heat exchange systems that regulate powertrain temperatures within optimal ranges under all operating conditions. These systems can help achieve optimal temperature for the battery and the electronics and are critical to extending battery range and ultimate battery life.

Modine’s products are especially suited for transit and school buses, specialty vehicles, and trucks, including those used for last-mile delivery. Modine is currently in development discussions with more than 30 customers, in production on three programs and have been awarded five additional programs that are launching in the next 12 months, says the company.

The company released its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, in early August this year. Gross profit increased 59 percent in the first quarter to $73.2 million, and gross margin improved 150 basis points to 14.8 percent, primarily driven by volume improvements in all segments and lower depreciation in the Automotive segment, partially offset by higher material and overhead costs.
