Background
Pioneer Hybrid hosted a traveling progress show each summer. With extreme heat and large visitor turnout, reliable tent cooling wasn’t optional. Air conditioning was essential to keep the event running smoothly.
Challenge
Pioneer Hybrid depended on rented AC units, and the cost had become unreasonable—more than $100,000 for every single event. The expense repeated show after show with nothing to show for it long-term.
Solution
VASEY engineered a custom cooling system built specifically for mobility and reusability. The system could be assembled at each event, taken down afterward, and stored in a trailer until the next stop. It was designed to be transported easily and used repeatedly, eliminating the need for rental equipment.
The investment was a one-time cost of $150,000.
Results
With VASEY’s portable, storable system in place, Pioneer Hybrid cut its per-event cooling costs from roughly $100,000 to $35,000. Those savings have added up year after year since 2006.
This project shows the strength of VASEY’s capabilities—solving unusual, complex challenges with practical solutions that deliver long-term value.
