FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Auxiliary Power Unit for Trucks?
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is a game-changer for the trucking industry – it produces the power needed to keep the heating or cooling systems running independent of the truck engine.
Coupled with an Auto-Start system and an Inverter, the APU can deliver climate comfort and allow the driver access to all their electrical plug-ins while ensuring that the truck engine can start up to charge the batteries as needed.
APUs are engineered to reduce wear-and-tear on the engine, maintain comfortable bunk temperatures, and save truckers money on fuel costs.
