In as little as 3 hours, a full-size truck could be converted into a 4x4 "Mountain Goat" that would climb steep inclines with ease.
APC was founded in 1981 by three MIT Lincoln Lab electronic power engineers. Originally, the engineers focused on solar power research and development. [2] When government funding for their research ended, APC shifted its focus to power protection by introducing its first UPS in 1984.
