Empowering the Nissan Patrol with Enhanced Electrical Solutions
Get more onboard power with minimal changes to OE under-the-hood configuration
When outfitting vehicles for demanding applications, the Nissan Patrol is a standout, especially for security and defense tasks. Upgrading these vehicles with additional armor and equipment often leads to increased electrical demands, surpassing what standard OEM alternators can provide. That’s where American Power Systems, Inc. (APS) comes into play with its innovative dual alternator bracket kit, designed specifically for the Nissan Patrol.
Introducing the Dual Alternator Bracket Kit
This new kit allows users to bolster the electrical output of the 2017-2024 Nissan Patrol Y62 models with a 5.6L V8 petrol engine. What’s remarkable is that it requires minimal alterations to the original under-the-hood configuration. Users can easily add APS' high-output alternators, which come in various configurations—12V, 24V, or 48V—to meet specific power requirements.
Staying Safe and Connected in the Field
According to Amy Lank, APS President & CEO, the growing demand for reliable power is crucial for security or defense missions. The dual alternator kit empowers operators by providing the additional electricity needed to sustain advanced systems. This includes crucial components like anti-IED jammers, communication devices, and satellite equipment, effectively keeping personnel safe and connected under various operational circumstances.
