Developed with Clarks: TraffiClear

September 18, 2024

When it comes to vehicle conversions, the difference between a standard solution and a Clarks transformation can be as vast as night and day. At Clarks Vehicle Conversions, we understand that each client has unique requirements, and delivering exceptional solutions is our top priority. This commitment to excellence is what sets us apart from other converters. 

Where a conversion requires third-party products, We don't just buy “off the shelf” and blindly install them; we actively test and feedback our findings to our suppliers in order to develop products that are not only perfect for the end user’s needs but also allow production efficiencies which ultimately benefit our customers. 

One such valued partner is Trafficlear, a renowned supplier of high-quality vehicle Electrical Control Systems, Warning Lighting and Energy Systems. Together, we have refined products that align perfectly with our vision and our clients’ expectations.

A Partnership Grounded in Respect

The relationship between Clarks Vehicle Conversions and Trafficlear is not merely transactional but a partnership grounded in mutual respect, shared goals, and a pursuit of innovation within our individual fields. This collaboration allows us to push the boundaries of what's possible within our conversions, ensuring our solutions are uniquely tailored to create a more refined experience for the end user.

Trafficlear brings to the table a wealth of expertise in In-Vehicle Control Systems, known for their quality and safety record. Meanwhile, Clarks brings an intimate understanding of our customers’ needs and the practical challenges faced in various vehicle conversion scenarios. By working closely together, we ensure that any product we have input on is perfectly suited to the specific need of the conversion.

We always enjoy working with Clarks. The questions they ask, the feedback they give, and the continual push for perfection not only keeps us on our toes but allows us to continually develop our product to the highest standards and beyond our initial brief

Co-Development in Action: Tailoring Solutions for Optimal Performance

A standout feature of our collaboration with Trafficlear is our direct communication and feedback process. This results in the ability to refine products that seamlessly integrate with our vehicle conversions quickly and efficiently. 

Over the years we have been working with Trafficlear, we have feedback on numerous products that have then been further developed, creating a product that is second to none.  

Example:

When a client approached us to find a solution for powering roof lightbars on a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) conversion while the vehicle was powered off, we knew we could collaborate with Trafficlear to develop an effective solution.

Not only did we succeed, but through extensive testing, we refined the product further. We requested Trafficlear to create a smaller, portable, version of the auxiliary power system, featuring a 20Ah battery, fuses, and under-voltage protection, all housed in a carry case. This allowed for convenient out-of-vehicle recharging at the office, depot, or home. Each charge could power the roof lightbar for up to three days before needing a recharge.

The system could then easily dock within the vehicle to power the roof lightbar without draining the vehicle’s main battery or affecting its range. For added safety, we incorporated an automatic changeover failsafe. In the event the auxiliary battery failed or lost charge, the system would automatically switch to being powered by the vehicle’s battery, ensuring uninterrupted operation at a critical point.
