USA Technologies Inc. launched the next generation VM2iQ with improved customer benefits, greater market appeal and for a lower price.

A distinctive upgrade to the new generation VM2iQ is that it is now RoHs compliant. RoHs restricts the use of hazardous materials in electronic products in an effort to reduce the stream of hazardous waste sent to landfills. California and a growing list of U.S. states are proposing mandates for the use of RoHs compliant products. This also meets an EU market directive that bans the use in Europe of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed upon levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.

“With many hundreds of thousands energy saving devices distributed to our customers worldwide, our EnergyMiser technology is the only patented, tried and proven energy management system successfully delivering up to 46 percent energy savings in commercial appliances,” said Wendy Jenkins, vice president of marketing, USA Technologies, in a prepared statement. “It is also the only energy saving device that is RoHs Compliant and meets the performance and environmental needs of the global market. We believe USA Technologies is the undisputed leader in energy savings products for commercial appliances worldwide.”
