Top Benefits Of APU Units For Trucks – Electric Vs Diesel APU
As anti-idle laws become more prevalent, fleets of medium and heavy trucks are turning to operating accessory equipment on on-board generators such as Electric APUs.
Auxiliary Power Unit are small, efficient generator units that are capable of generating the power needed to keep the cabin air conditioning, power to the indoor units, etc., without the truck engine running. APU units can affect a fleet company's bottom line when it comes to the cost of running heavy commercial vehicles. This is why it is important to choose the correct APU power source.
APUs offer increased driver comfort, greater fuel savings, better driver recruitment / retention, idling reduction, lower maintenance costs and higher tractor residual values. The APU provides the power to turn on the heating, air conditioning, and even the TV without having to keep the truck idling.
Here are some key differences between the Electric apu vs. engine Powered apu.
With diesel-powered APUs, practically unlimited power is available for heating and cooling as long as there is fuel in the APU.but it consumes more fuel while driving or idling, in this period of soaring oil prices.it is indeed a large budget for fleets.
