2017 Carrier Auxiliary Power Unit

Auxiliary power unit with hybrid diesel-electric technology.

Idling a tractor engine for in-cab comfort or to ensure cold starts is very costly. It increases fuel cost, engine hours, engine maintenance, and service cost. With the Carrier auxiliary power unit (APU), you can turn off your engine, be comfortable, and turn down your operating costs. Externally mounted on the side rails, Carrier's APU is protected by a weatherproof compartment and runs off the trucks fuel supply. This innovative hybrid diesel-electric system saves fuel, runs quieter than the truck engine, reduces emissions, and provides reliable all-night comfort for the driver.
