Don’t Just Reduce Idling. Eliminate It.
Setting the new standard with next generation eAPU systems.
Idle Elimination Is The New Standard
Diesel APUs waste gallons of fuel while trucks idle continuously. Current battery APUs (eAPUs) are unreliable and depend on idling during autostart cycles. Add maintenance costs and battery replacement to wasted fuel costs and it’s a notable hit to the bottom line.
We Saw a Better Way and Built It
Using proven, interconnected technologies, our team of electrical engineers developed a first-of-its-kind, next-gen eAPU system to eliminate idling entirely and provide consistent, reliable run times for fleets. Our goal: Save fleet owners thousands in fuel costs annually, keep drivers comfortable, and build an eAPU system that delivers predictable power, no matter the conditions.
How We Started
The End of the Idle Compromise
IdleX started with two people who built power systems that were not allowed to fail. Before the first eAPU, Kevin Reed and Mike Deau were building off-grid command centers that had to run flawlessly in extreme conditions. No excuses. No second chances. That work left them with the same obsession: absolute reliability and intelligent power.
Each had mastered his own arena first. Kevin built premium aftermarket parts for the heavy-duty trucking industry. Mike engineered advanced energy systems designed to perform where others fail. Two sides of the same problem, before either of them knew it was the same problem.
When they turned to trucking, the math was hard to ignore. A Class 8 sleeper idling overnight burns thousands of gallons of diesel every year to keep drivers comfortable. They do it because the idle reduction systems on the market could not deliver a full night of real comfort. The promise was always there. The performance never was.
So they built IdleX. Not another patch on an old idea, but a clean-sheet system with one job: when the wheels stop, the engine turns off, and the cab stays comfortable all night. No compromise between rest and fuel. Physics you can check, not promises in a brochure.
Our Mission & Vision
Rooted in Doing Things the Right Way
Pays for Itself From Month One
We improve the bottom line by eliminating idling, not reducing it. The financed cost typically sits below the monthly savings.
Predictable Performance
Our system delivers 10 hours runtime – minimum.
Zero eAPU Maintenance
Our 48V batteries last the life of a truck (10,000+ cycles) and replace the hotel and starter batteries. Keep your trucks on the road and out of the shop.
50-State Compliant
When you never idle, you never have to worry about violating anti-idling laws. It’s that simple.
Easy Install, Any Truck
No bolt-on battery storage needed and charges off the factory alternator. We believe an eAPU shouldn’t just perform, it should be easy to implement.
Save Fuel, Protect the Planet
A 100-truck fleet burns on average 1,000 gallons of diesel each night when idling. We’re out to eliminate waste and protect precious resources.
Who We Help
From Fleet Owners to Drivers, We Deliver What Matters
Fleet Owners
Save Fuel, Save Money
How much your trucks idle is no longer part of the conversation. The issue with unreliable battery APUs is gone. Money to the bottom line from the first month.
Maintenance Team
Zero Maintenance, Easy Install
Our 48V batteries last 10,000+ cycles. That means no need to swap batteries for the lifetime of a truck. Plus install is quick, keeping trucks on the road and no need for a specialty shop.
Drivers
Consistent Comfort, Any Condition
From hot and humid to extreme southwest heat, our system is more efficient and provides more cooling than the 12V standard, while keeping all your accessories powered during rest periods.
