See what a Green APU saves your truck

It estimates three things an APU saves you and adds them up: diesel you stop burning at idle (about 0.75 gallons saved per idle hour avoided), deferred aftertreatment/DPF service (about 60% of a $4,000 annual cleaning cycle at heavy idle), and the downtime those DPF service events cost you. Enter your own idle hours, driving days, diesel price, and truck count for a number specific to your operation.

A heavy truck burns roughly a gallon of diesel an hour at idle. An owner idling 10 hours a night, 320 nights a year, avoids about 2,400 gallons of that by running a Green APU instead — roughly $9,000 in fuel alone at $3.75 diesel, before DPF and downtime savings.

At the default assumptions (10 idle hours a day, 320 days a year) the $14,999 Star Edition pays for itself in about 14 months. Drivers who idle more, or pay more for fuel, reach payback faster — often under a year.

Yes, through Time Payment. Because a Green APU typically saves more per month than idling costs, the unit can begin paying for itself before it is paid off.
