CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - TIAX, a collaborative product and technology development firm, announced that it has been selected by TUG, a division of Stewart & Stevenson Services Inc., to assist in the design and manufacture of a 10-ton diesel-electric air conditioning unit for the U.S. Navy. This portable, self-powered, trailer-mounted unit will supply conditioned air to the electronic equipment on Navy aircraft during maintenance while on an aircraft carrier or onshore base.
