Powering the Future: Electric Auxiliary Power Units Transform Fleet Operations
Corunclima, a leader in advanced refrigeration and power solutions, is at the forefront of this innovation with its electric APUs designed for the modern transport fleet. These systems provide auxiliary power to vehicles without relying on the main engine, reducing fuel consumption, lowering emissions, and improving driver comfort.
The Need for Electric Auxiliary Power Units
Long-haul trucks and heavy-duty vehicles typically need to run their engines to power auxiliary systems, such as air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration, even when they are parked or idling. This practice consumes large amounts of fuel, creates unnecessary emissions, and contributes to engine wear. The Electric Auxiliary Power Unit (e-APU) solves this problem by providing an independent, efficient power source that runs off the truck’s main battery or an auxiliary battery.
Unlike traditional APUs that are powered by diesel engines, electric APUs use electricity to run the vehicle’s systems, making them an ideal solution for fleets transitioning to greener, more sustainable operations. These units are especially important for companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint and complying with increasingly strict emissions regulations.
Corunclima’s Electric Auxiliary Power Unit: Leading the Charge in Sustainable Trucking
Corunclima’s electric auxiliary power units are designed with cutting-edge technology to meet the demands of modern fleets. Here’s why these units stand out:
Zero Emissions
Unlike traditional diesel-powered APUs, Corunclima’s electric APUs operate with zero emissions, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint. This is particularly important as governments around the world impose stricter regulations on emissions from commercial vehicles. By utilizing electric power, these units contribute to cleaner air and support companies’ sustainability goals.
Energy Efficiency
Corunclima’s electric APUs are engineered for optimal energy efficiency, providing the necessary power to keep critical systems like air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration running while minimizing energy consumption. This translates to lower operating costs for businesses, as less energy is required to maintain comfort and performance in long-haul transport.
Quiet Operation
One of the standout features of Corunclima’s electric APUs is their quiet operation. Traditional diesel-powered APUs are often noisy, creating disruption and environmental noise pollution, particularly in urban areas or at night. Electric APUs, however, operate quietly, enhancing driver comfort and meeting noise regulations in sensitive areas.
Improved Fleet Efficiency
With electric APUs, fleets can run their auxiliary systems without idling the main engine, reducing wear and tear on the vehicle’s engine. This not only extends the lifespan of the truck but also lowers maintenance costs. Additionally, electric APUs allow for longer operational hours, as trucks can power their systems without consuming fuel or draining the main vehicle’s battery.
Cost Savings
By reducing the need for fuel to power auxiliary systems, electric APUs help businesses lower fuel costs. The savings can be significant, especially for long-haul fleets that are parked for extended periods. This makes electric APUs a cost-effective solution that benefits both the environment and the bottom line.
