Tellurex Corporation Announces a New Thermoelectric Dual Cupholder in the 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum
July 21, 2008
The high-tech Tellurex cup holder that cools and heats beverages is now in GM’s 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum models. By touching a switch, the Tellurex cup holder can either heat or cool beverages.
Charles Cauchy, President of Tellurex, continues to see a very promising future for the company’s cup holder designs. “We envision the cup cooler/heater becoming standard equipment on many well-appointed cars like the Escalade. Tellurex is proud to be the first supplier of this product and a technology leader that will develop more products for the automotive market.”
Tellurex Corporation’s new dual cup holder can be independently-controlled by the driver or passenger, and one can be heating while the other is cooling. LED-lighted switches indicate which mode each cup holder is in —red for heat, blue for cooling, and white when the car ignition is on but the cupholders are not. Elegantly engineered and virtually silent, the entire unit drops right into the center console from above.

Powered by the Tellurex’s Z-Max® thermoelectric module and sub-assembly, the unit chills beverages to 40 degrees Fahrenheit below the interior temperature of the car. In the heating mode, it keeps coffee, tea or other liquids at a maximum limit of 140 degrees F.
Traverse City, Michigan-based Tellurex Corporation is a world leader in solid-state thermoelectric power generation and cooling technology. Another version of the Tellurex cup holder was first introduced in the 2007 Chrysler Sebring. It continues to be a very popular option with customers, automotive writers, and designers. |
