How CTECHI’s All‑Electric APU Redefines Truck Rest Stops
For professional truck drivers, roadside rest stops have long meant engine idling—to power air conditioning, heating, or electronics in the sleeper cab. CTECHI’s Truck All‑Electric APU solves this challenge head-on by delivering reliable, silent, and green power without a single drop of diesel.
The system—available in both 24 V and 48 V configurations, with capacities from 50 Ah up to 900 Ah—harnesses automotive-grade LiFePO4 battery cells rated for over 6,000 cycles and up to 10 years of service. It powers HVAC, USB ports, lights, and small appliances with maximum continuous loads up to 3,800 W, making it ideal for long-haul demands .
How It Works for Drivers:
Charging Modes: Alternator while driving, optional solar panels, or shore connection after parking.
Smart Monitoring: BMS with over‑charge/discharge and short‑circuit protection, plus optional fuel‑gauge style display or mobile monitoring through Bluetooth/CAN.
Installation: Plug‑and‑play with clear posts for inverter/battery connection.
Use Case: Carol, an over‑the‑road driver, explains: “When I take my mandatory breaks, the cab stays cool, my phone charges fast, and there’s zero engine noise. I’m saving fuel and sleeping better.”
Environmental & Cost Benefits:
Eliminates engine idling—saving fuel and cutting NOₓ and particulate emissions .
Quiet operation supports stricter anti-idle zones in cities.
Long lifespan and low maintenance mean lower total cost of ownership.
In short, CTECHI’s All‑Electric APU transforms how drivers rest and recharge—enhancing comfort, compliance, and cost-efficiency on the road.
