By significantly reducing engine idling, a Green APU helps lower fuel costs, reduce engine wear, minimize maintenance expenses, and provide dependable heating, air conditioning, battery charging, and electrical power whenever it’s needed.
Whether you operate a single truck or manage an entire fleet, Green APU systems are a smart investment that can pay for themselves through fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs.

What Is a Green APU?
A Green APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is a compact diesel-powered system installed on a semi-truck that provides heating, air conditioning, electrical power, and battery charging while the truck is parked.
Instead of idling a large diesel engine simply to stay comfortable or keep batteries charged, the Green APU operates independently using a much smaller, fuel-efficient engine. This allows drivers to remain comfortable during rest periods while dramatically reducing fuel consumption and unnecessary engine hours.
Green APU systems are engineered for reliability, ease of maintenance, and long service life, making them an excellent choice for owner-operators and fleet managers alike.
Green APU units are designed for how truckers work on the road. They are built with pre-cooled Kubota engine blocks, delivering reliable heating, cooling and power without idling.
Green APU utilizes a single serpentine belt with an easily accessible tensioner for easy maintenance.
Filters, fuses and other common components are easy to access and change.
Green APU units are assembled in the United States, using USA components.
Benefits of a Green APU
1. Save Fuel
Every hour a heavy-duty diesel engine idles consumes fuel while adding unnecessary operating costs. A Green APU uses only a fraction of that fuel, helping reduce daily operating expenses and improve profitability.

2. Reduce Engine Wear
Idling adds engine hours without adding miles. Over time this contributes to increased maintenance costs and reduced engine life.
Using a Green APU instead of the truck’s primary engine helps reduce:
- Engine wear
- Oil changes
- DPF regeneration frequency
- Maintenance expenses
- Overall lifecycle costs
3. Stay Comfortable Year-Round
Drivers deserve a comfortable place to rest.
Green APU systems provide:
- Air conditioning during hot weather
- Heat during cold weather
- Consistent sleeper cab comfort
- Quiet operation compared to engine idling
Whether you’re taking a mandatory break, staying overnight, or waiting to unload, your sleeper remains comfortable without running the truck’s engine.
4. Reliable Electrical Power
A Green APU keeps your batteries charged while providing electrical power for many common cab accessories.
Power items such as:
- Refrigerator
- Microwave
- Television
- Laptop
- CPAP machine
- Phone chargers
- Small appliances
- Cab lighting
Keeping batteries properly charged also helps reduce unexpected no-start situations.
5. Help Reduce Idle Time
Many cities and states have anti-idling regulations designed to reduce emissions and fuel waste.
Installing a Green APU gives drivers an effective alternative to prolonged engine idling while still maintaining a comfortable sleeper environment.
6. Designed for Professional Drivers
Green APU systems are built specifically for Class 8 commercial trucks and are trusted by:
- Owner-operators
- Long-haul drivers
- Regional fleets
- National trucking companies
- Vocational truck operators
Whether you’re driving coast-to-coast or making regional deliveries, a Green APU helps improve comfort while reducing operating expenses.
