Truck APU

Electric APU technology in semi trucks is more than a trend; it’s a game-changing solution that delivers a wide array of advantages. ACEMCO’s semi truck APU systems exemplify this transformation, showcasing how the implementation of an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) can lead to increased efficiency and sustainability. Here’s a closer look at the multifaceted benefits:

• Increased Driver Comfort: By controlling the in-cab temperature and powering necessary appliances without idling the engine, electric APUs provide a more pleasant and comfortable environment for drivers. Whether it’s air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter, drivers can rest easy.
• Greater Fuel Savings: Fuel consumption is a major concern for any fleet operator. With an average consumption of 3,000 gallons of diesel a year on a typical sleeper truck, the costs can be staggering. ACEMCO’s semi truck APU can lead to savings of up to $10,000 a year by cutting fuel consumption by over 85%. The efficiency of electric APU technology translates to substantial financial savings.
• Better Driver Recruitment and Retention: A comfortable driver is a happy driver. By investing in electric APU technology, you’re sending a message to current and prospective drivers that you care about their well-being. This often results in better recruitment and higher retention rates, ensuring that your fleet is staffed by satisfied, loyal professionals.
• Idle Reduction: Reducing engine idling is not only good for your bottom line but also the environment. By enabling drivers to maintain comfort without running the engine, electric APUs reduce emissions and contribute to a greener planet.
• Lowered Maintenance Costs: The less your engine idles, the less wear and tear it experiences. Electric APUs reduce the need for idling, consequently lowering maintenance costs and extending the engine’s lifespan. The result is a more reliable, long-lasting vehicle that requires fewer service visits.
• Higher Tractor Residual Values: A well-maintained engine that has benefitted from reduced idling will likely have a higher residual value. By integrating an electric APU, you’re preserving the engine’s condition and potentially increasing the resale value of the tractor.

These benefits collectively make electric APUs an appealing investment for anyone in the trucking industry. Whether you’re an owner-operator looking to enhance comfort and efficiency or a fleet manager seeking to reduce costs and improve driver satisfaction, an ACEMCO semi truck APU offers a comprehensive solution.
