Product Highlights
🚚 Your #1 Expense is Idling. We're the #1 Solution.
As a fleet owner, you're not just managing trucks; you're managing costs. And the single biggest unnecessary cost is engine idling for A/C. It's like burning cash every single night.
Traditional engine-driven APUs seemed like a solution, but they brought their own set of problems: another engine to service, more fuel consumption, and constant maintenance headaches.
It's time for a smarter, more profitable approach. Our All-Electric Truck AC is engineered to directly attack your biggest pain points and boost your bottom line.
Stop the Financial Bleeding. Start Gaining an Edge.
Let's break down how our fuel-free system transforms your biggest expenses into savings.
⛽️ Pain Point: Uncontrollable Fuel Costs
Running the truck's engine or a diesel APU for air conditioning burns approximately one gallon of fuel per hour. For a single truck, that's over $10,000 a year in wasted diesel, straight out of your profits.
✅ Our Solution: Eliminate Fuel Burn for Comfort
Our system is 100% battery-powered. It provides 6-8 hours of powerful cooling on a standard battery pack without using a single drop of fuel. The savings are immediate and massive, flowing directly back to your business.
🔧 Pain Point: Constant, Costly Maintenance
Every hour of idling adds wear and tear to your truck's engine, leading to more frequent oil changes, DPF regeneration issues, and a shorter engine lifespan. A diesel APU is just another complex engine that needs its own expensive maintenance schedule.
✅ Our Solution: Drastically Reduce Engine Hours & Service Needs
With the main engine off, you stop accumulating unnecessary engine hours. This extends the life of your primary asset and stretches the time between major services. Our electric AC is a simple, reliable system with far fewer moving parts, meaning minimal upkeep and maximum uptime for your fleet.
👤 Pain Point: High Driver Turnover
Top drivers are hard to find and even harder to keep. An uncomfortable, noisy, fume-filled cab leads to poor rest, low morale, and drivers leaving for a better-equipped fleet.
✅ Our Solution: Create a First-Class Rest Environment
Provide the quiet, cool, and comfortable cabin your drivers deserve. A well-rested driver is a safe, efficient, and loyal driver. Our system's silent operation ensures they get the quality sleep they need to perform at their best, making your fleet the one they want to drive for.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about this product category.
💰 Why should I invest in a 12V parking A/C instead of just idling my engine?
This is the most important question, and the answer is simple: Return on Investment (ROI).
- Massive Fuel Savings: An idling truck burns about 1 gallon of diesel per hour. At 4−5/gallon,that′sover∗∗4−5/gallon,that′sover∗∗40 per 10-hour rest period**. Our A/C uses a tiny fraction of that in battery power, saving you thousands of dollars per truck, per year.
- Reduced Engine Wear: Every hour of idling is an hour of wear on your most expensive asset. A parking A/C eliminates thousands of hours of unnecessary engine runtime, extending engine life and reducing maintenance costs.
- Avoid Anti-Idling Fines: States like California have strict anti-idling laws with hefty fines. A no-idle A/C makes your fleet compliant and avoids costly tickets.
- Driver Retention: A quiet, cool, and comfortable cab is one of the top demands of professional drivers. Investing in their comfort is a direct investment in retaining your best talent.
🔋 What kind of battery setup do I really need for a full 8-10 hour night?
This is the key to a successful no-idle system. For a full DOT-mandated rest period, especially in warmer climates, we recommend the following for our 12V A/C units:
- Good: A minimum of 200Ah of dedicated LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. This will work well in milder climates.
- Better (Recommended Standard): A 300Ah to 400Ah LiFePO4 battery bank. This is the "sweet spot" that provides reliable, all-night comfort in most US climates without causing battery anxiety.
- Best (For Hot Climates): A 400Ah+ LiFePO4 battery bank. If your routes are in Texas, Arizona, or Florida, this larger capacity ensures the A/C can run as hard as it needs to all night long with power to spare.
🛠️ What kind of maintenance is required?
Our parking A/C units are designed to be low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way to ensure peak performance.
- Monthly Check: In a dusty environment, it's a good idea to clean the outdoor unit's condenser coils. Simply use compressed air to blow out any dust or debris. This ensures the unit can "breathe" properly and cool efficiently.
- Indoor Filter: Check and clean the indoor unit's air filter periodically.
- Annual Check: Before the summer season, it's good practice to power on the unit, check for strong airflow, and ensure all connections are tight.
