Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN) today
announced a new online resource for companies and governmental agencies
seeking to launch infrastructure, modernization or energy-efficiency
projects with stimulus funding available through the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The new Eaton Web site, www.eaton.com/recovery,
presents the diverse range of Eaton products and systems designed to
help customers manage power more efficiently, effectively and safely.
“An extraordinary time calls for an extraordinary response, and Eaton is
ready to help our customers get to work recharging the economy,” said
Alexander M. Cutler, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer. “Across
all of our businesses, Eaton delivers innovative power management
technologies that can help control cost and reduce energy requirements.
We believe these products and solutions hit the sweet spot for customers
launching infrastructure or energy-efficiency initiatives.”
Eaton's new Web site offers a snapshot of detailed, solution-oriented
approaches using the company's electrical and hydraulic products and
systems in vital market applications that require effective power
management. Potential applications include hydro and wind power
generation as well as data centers, hospitals, high-speed railways,
airports, public housing facilities, water treatment plants, and other
key elements of infrastructure.
In demanding applications, Eaton products have proven their value. Eaton
electrical power metering equipment, lighting controls and variable
frequency drives, for example, helped the University of Notre Dame
significantly reduce energy consumption on campus. Massive Eaton
hydraulic cylinders, pumps and valves play key roles in improving
structural stability of many bridges and public facilities in the
nation's earthquake-prone areas. Eaton electrical switchgear,
uninterruptible power systems and hydraulic power units help keep wind
turbines running in harsh conditions.
Additional applications featured on the Web site include fuel economy
and emissions, supported by Eaton's leading hybrid power systems for
commercial vehicles. These offerings complement the program Eaton
introduced in March to assist truck fleet owners in applying for diesel
hybrid grants available through the ARRA. To date, truck customers have
applied for federal grants worth millions of dollars with Eaton's help.
Although initially focused on U.S.-based customers, Eaton will expand
the new Web site to include assistance for customers in other regions of
the world.
