How much can you save with Green APU?

There are many questions as to whether an APU unit can save you money throughout your long journey. Here, we will talk about the advantages and savings that you can get when you have a Green APU unit for your trucks.

Now, the entire purpose of having an auxiliary power unit for your truck is to maintain its operating systems without having to run them through the fuel tank all the time. When doing this, it can save you a lot of money because it does not consume the fuel that you would otherwise burn over the course of a year in your truck’s tank.

How much can an APU unit save you?

A typical truck burns about a gallon of diesel per hour while idling. Over a working year, a driver who sleeps in the truck puts in roughly 3,200 idle hours, which is about 3,200 gallons, or around $12,000 at $3.75 diesel. A Green APU does the same job on about a quarter gallon per hour, roughly 800 gallons, or about $3,000. The difference, close to $9,000 a year, stays in your pocket.

An APU also saves you money on maintenance, because a Green APU unit can surface issues your truck may have before they become expensive. It includes battery monitoring and coolant temperature monitoring, so it can flag what the truck needs.

Our auxiliary power units for semi trucks are designed to last, which is why we back them with a 2-year, unlimited-hour warranty. That means long-term savings on both energy and money, since the system keeps running quietly in the background.

Don’t find yourself spending too much on your trucks, because the cost of fuel is not going down any time soon. Green APU does not only provide comfort to your drivers, it also saves you real money. It is an investment worth having, especially over the long run.
