    2. Why Do Truck Drivers Idle? Driver comfort To keep batteries charged To warm engine for easy startups To provide hotel power in sleeper Out of Habit

    3. Why is Idling a Problem? 1. Environmental – Emissions, health Impact 2. Financial – Maintenance Costs (wear and tear of tractor engine) – Fuel consumption

    4. Anti-Idling Legislation CARB announced that California aims to ban all truck idling by January 1, 2008. 21 States and hundreds of municipalities regulate truckers with anti-idling laws Current regulations limit idling from 0 to 15 minutes Enforcement is increasing

    5. The Need for an APU Fuel prices continue to rise and are a significant portion of the operating cost for a fleet. Anti-idle laws that prohibit truck idling are growing in coverage and enforcement Idling is done to keep drivers comfortable, engines warm, and batteries charged. Idling has a significant cost – fuel, engine wear and maintenance.

    6. New Research Shows Excessive Idling Can Shorten Diesel-Engine Life up to 20% “One hour of idling causes the same amount of wear as two hours or 80 mi. to 120 mi. of driving” -Larry R. Johnson, Director of Argonne’s Center for Transportation Research

    7. TriPac Unique Hybrid System

    9. What is an Integrated APU ?

    10. Why Buy an Integrated APU ? Lower overall cost of ownership Lower diesel fuel consumption (APU versus tractor engine). Reduced truck engine maintenance (reduced idle miles). Driver retention Truck cab sleeper compartment climate control and electric power. Improve overall system reliability Providing truck engine preheating Provide truck battery charging Better for the environment Less fuel and emissions

    11. TriPac Product Features Sleeper heating and air-conditioning Battery charging Engine block heating Accessory power Easy driver operation
