FOR FLEET OPERATORS
Your Search for a Better APU Ends Here
Until now, every option for powering a parked truck still burned diesel. IdleX is the first eAPU system that eliminates idling instead of reducing it. Consistent run times. Zero maintenance.
ENGINE OFF

YOU RUN
THE COST OF IDLING
Every night, your truck burns fuel while going nowhere.
An idling truck gets zero miles per gallon. Every hour parked with the engine running burns roughly a gallon of diesel and adds engine wear.
A 100-truck fleet burns 1,000 gallons of diesel a night. Annually, that’s $15,000 or more per truck while the truck sits.
3 Million Gallons Wasted Every Night.
The old ways to power a parked truck. Each burns diesel. You don’t have to.
Idling
The industry default. No equipment to buy, but the most expensive option, costing $11,486 in fuel and maintenance per truck – each year.
Diesel APU
A second engine’s bolted onto your truck. It burns less fuel but still needs diesel, service and adds hours. Average cost to operate: $3,427 annually per truck.
Legacy Battery APU
Reduces idling but doesn’t eliminate it. Runtimes are often underwhelming, and performance fades in real-world heat and cold. Average cost to operate: $2,847 annually per truck.
IdleX costs $394 a year to operate. That’s 9 times less than a diesel APU and 29 times less than idling.

WHAT CHANGES WITH IDLEX
Reimagine What an eAPU Can Do
10-hour Minimum Runtime
Runs heat or air conditioning all night. No auto-start, load shedding or rationing what accessories drivers can use. Recharges to 100% in six hours off the factory alternator while driving.
Zero Maintenance
No engine, no belts, no oil, no filters. Nothing to service and nothing to schedule. Rated for 10,000+ cycles, so it’s built to outlast the truck.
Built for Real Heat & Cold
A 48V A/C cools more, while pulling less power than the 12V units in most sleepers today. A diesel-fired heater handles cab heat without adding engine hours.
One System Replaces Three
IdleX systems replace your starter batteries, hotel batteries and APU. You get 2,000 of CCA rated to -40°F, less weight and an eAPU that runs all night without burning diesel.
Installs in Any Truck
Fits in the existing battery box or under the bunk. No modifications needed. The install’s done in a day without the need for a specialty shop.
Support You Can Count On
Five-year warranty, remote monitoring and over-the-air updates. The system reports its status, so problems surface before they turn into roadside calls.
THE MATH
IdleX Pays for Itself From Month One
The IdleX system costs $394 a year to operate. No oil, no filters, no belts and no battery replacements.
Roll it into the financing on a new truck and the monthly payment is typically smaller than what the system saves in fuel and eliminated maintenance. It lowers your operating cost starting the first month. Standalone financing is available for trucks already in your fleet.

Use our simulator to get REAL numbers that align with YOUR fleet. Plug in idle hours, fuel price and fleet size. The simulator shows what idling costs you today and what changes when you use the IdleX system.
WHAT YOU STOP DEALING WITH
No More 2 a.m. Service Calls
A diesel APU was the best answer the industry had – until now. Buy a small engine so the truck’s engine doesn’t have to idle. It’s also one more thing to own, service and repair.
With IdleX:
- No A/C dropping out six hours into a 10-hour break
- No hunting for specialty shops to work on a broken APU
- No third belt replacement of the year
- No battery swaps
- No control board quote that costs more than the unit’s worth
We’ve Seen the Problem From Both Sides
Our team has spent years in heavy-duty truck parts and saw firsthand the limitations and struggles that exist with current APU options. And they’ve engineered and built off-grid power systems using the same technology that had to withstand conditions far tougher than any truck stop.
IdleX isn’t built on unproven technology. Every core component has been proven in the field. What’s new is the configuration. We’ve created an integrated system, designed for Class-8 sleepers, engineered to eliminate idling instead of reducing it.
YOUR DRIVERS
A Quiet, Comfortable Cab Retains Drivers
An idling engine means noise and vibration for 10 straight hours. A diesel APU is just a smaller version of the same thing. IdleX runs silent.
With IdleX, drivers can power everything the need, from electronics to climate control, all night. They can set the cab temperature from their phone before stepping foot in their truck.
Given the cost of replacing a driver who quits (about $10,000) and the industry shortage, keeping them comfortable is a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fleet Owner FAQ
Ten hours minimum with the engine off, running heat or air conditioning. That covers a full mandated rest period without an auto-start. It recharges to 100% in six hours off your factory alternator while the truck is driving.
The system delivers 2,000 CCA down to -40°F with push-button recovery, so the truck starts. Cab heat on the coldest nights comes from a diesel-fired heater that runs on a fraction of the fuel and adds no engine hours.
A 48V A/C cools more while drawing less power than a standard 12V unit, so the system holds the cab through a full night in real heat. Nothing gets shut off to stretch the charge.
About a day, by whoever already services your trucks. There’s no proprietary installer network and no certification requirement, so it can be scheduled alongside regular preventive maintenance.
None. There’s no engine, no belts, no oil, and no filters. The battery is rated for 10,000+ cycles, so you don’t need to replace it across the life of the truck.
The system removes 120 to 240 pounds of lead-acid starter batteries and weighs less than what it replaces. Federal law also allows a 550-pound weight exemption for idle elimination equipment.
Five years on the core system, with remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included. The system reports its own status, so issues surface before they become road calls.
The simplest path is rolling it into the financing on a new truck. Standalone fleet financing is available for trucks already in your fleet. In both cases the payment is typically smaller than the monthly savings.
