SC Construction Technology Firm Accepted by SCRA

As part of its ongoing mission to foster high-tech economic growth in South Carolina, SCRA today announced the recent acceptance of 12 client companies into its SC Launch program. Client companies are accepted into the economic development program to receive mentoring and other support services and may also be eligible to receive grant funds or investments. One company, Viatech, Inc. offers products for the construction industry.

Viatec, Inc. makes affordable green solutions for commercial vehicles in the utility, telephone, construction and delivery industries in pursuit of their vision to make their green technologies standard features across class 5-8 commercial vehicles. To do so, Viatec developed SmartLoad, an electro-hydraulic hybrid that provides “context aware” regenerative braking and boost assist throughout the drive cycle, as well as SmartPTO, a small and light standalone electric power-take-off that eliminates the need for idling (bucket trucks, material handlers). Through cross-industry partnerships, Viatec Inc. delivers these products in a modular, flexible, scalable manner to meet specific customer needs at a fraction of the cost of other available solutions.
