The comfort of home when the road is long...
Truckers spend long days and even weeks on the road. And when they can’t be home, Carrier Transicold’s Aspen™ APU provides the comfort and convenience to help them feel like they never left.
An ASPEN APU offers the following benefits for drivers in the bunk, all without idling the engine:
- Cab Air Conditioning
- Cab Heat
- 120V-VAC power
- Engine pre-heating
- Battery charging and monitoring
- Optional Shore Power
Further, the fuel savings possible with an Aspen APU can generate a relatively quick ROI, especially in this time of rising fuel prices. Using the APU instead of idling the truck engine can save about a gallon of fuel per hour. The math is simple: If diesel fuel is $4 per gallon and a truck idles 2,000 hours over the course of the year, the Aspen APU will save $8,000 in fuel costs in the first year and $16,000 in just two years, with savings going straight to the bottom line.
