AUXILIARY POWER INVERTER INSTALLATION SERVICES

Your trucks need to do more than haul freight. They also need to support driver comfort and comply with evolving emissions regulations. But as most fleet managers know, it can be challenging to meet driver expectations and environmental requirements without losing business or cutting into profits. Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) installation can change that, helping you bridge the gaps between operational demands, regulatory compliance, and driver satisfaction.

At Orbital Installations, we specialize in professional APU installation and electrification services that reduce fuel waste, boost fleet efficiency, and keep your drivers safe, rested, and connected on the road. With our fast and reliable technicians at hand, you can schedule our services and have your trucks back on the road within a week.

Put simply, an APU is a generator that provides heat, air conditioning, and electricity to power devices like cell phones, tablets, and other small appliances. APU installation may take one of many forms, as diesel, battery-powered, solar, and hybrid systems are all viable options. Whichever truck electrification infrastructure you choose, the most notable aspect is the ability to provide power without requiring the engine to be on or idling. In some states, government incentives are available to support your fleet electrification efforts, including the installation of APUs and related infrastructure.

Driver comfort is a crucial factor in promoting better health, reducing fatigue and stress, and enhancing retention in an industry that is rapidly approaching a crisis point in terms of reliable staffing. Installing an auxiliary power inverter provides electricity and HVAC climate control inside truck cabs, ensuring comfort without the need to run the engine. This is particularly essential in states with strict anti-idling laws.

However, the benefits are not restricted to anti-idling compliance and helping drivers stay comfortable during their mandatory off-duty rest periods. By eliminating unnecessary engine use, you stand to make substantial cost savings by reducing engine wear—the leading cause of breakdowns. Your fuel costs will also be significantly lower, as APU-equipped vehicles use only a tenth of the fuel that an idling engine requires.

APU installation also supports EV transition technologies for fleets focused on integrating electric vehicles into their operations. EVs require reliable in-cab systems that integrate with new powertrains. The Orbital Installations team is proud to provide scalable, future-proof fleet electrification services that support evolving EV compliance requirements.

While not yet widespread, some truck stops offer truck stop electrification (TSE) for on-the-go power. These external power hookups provide HVAC, appliance charging, and battery support via certain types of adapters and upfitting. While outcomes vary based on usage and conditions, some sources claim that using TSE results in better air quality compared to leaving a vehicle idling. As such, some states offer incentives for TSE use. At Orbital Installations, we provide comprehensive support for TSE installation, enabling you to access emerging truck electrification infrastructure without overhauling your entire setup.

Professional installation is vital for truck emissions reduction systems that power your cab, protect your team, and prepare your fleet for the future. Orbital Installations delivers expert APU installation and electrification services nationwide through our mobile service units. Every install is designed for proper placement, seamless connectivity, and full compliance with local and federal emissions regulations.
