Electric, Diesel, and Battery Powered Truck APUs
The ComfortPro® auxiliary power units create a comfortable, homelike cab experience for drivers, while providing big advantages for fleets. The ComfortPro product line comes in 3 different APU system models: Diesel APU, Electric APU, and Lithium-Ion Electric APU. Carrier’s selection of world class truck APUs comes with the additional benefits of easy maintenance, regulatory compliance, driver retention, fuel savings, and reduced tractor idling.
ComfortPro Diesel Auxiliary Power Unit
ComfortPro diesel auxiliary power units (APUs) from Carrier Transicold are the trucking industry’s all-around performance leaders.
Overview
ComfortPro® diesel auxiliary power units (APUs) from Carrier Transicold are the trucking industry’s all-around performance leaders. No other APU offers the combination of air conditioning, heating, cab power, engine warming, truck battery charging, optional shore power connectivity and a 2,000-hour maintenance service interval found in the ComfortPro diesel units.
Less an Accessory And More A Necessity
- Easy Maintenance: Enhanced drive system and 2,000-hour maintenance interval
- Regulatory Compliance: Minimizes the risk of costly fines associated with anti-idling regulations and simplifies compliance.
- Driver Retention: Creates a more pleasant work experience for drivers while keeping costs down.
- Fuel Savings: Save nearly a gallon of fuel per hour, compared to idling the truck engine
- Reduced Tractor Idling: Extends service intervals while also reducing wear and tear on the engine

ComfortPro Lithium Ion Electric Auxiliary Power Unit
The ComfortPro electric auxiliary power unit (APU) with li-ion batteries (250ION) significantly outperforms conventional electric APU runtime and battery life, providing quiet, emissions-free performance with minimal maintenance.
Overview
Advanced Li-ion Technology: The ComfortPro® electric auxiliary power unit (APU) with li-ion batteries (250ION) significantly outperforms conventional electric APU runtime and battery life, providing quiet, emissions-free performance with minimal maintenance.
Less, Yet More: Using proprietary power-management technology, two li-ion batteries do more than the work of four AGM batteries, achieving 17 hours of continuous air conditioning under certain real-world conditions, the longest of any electric APU. That’s double the runtime of some competitive models and 50% more runtime than our AGM-battery model, while trimming APU weight by 26%.
Purpose-built Batteries: Advanced li-ion batteries are engineered specifically for APU applications. An extremely power-dense and durable solution, they charge faster and experience less power degradation over time compared to conventional batteries. Warrantied for worry-free performance for five years, outlasting some fleet trade cycles.
Fuel Savings: Fuel savings and compliance with anti-idling regulations are immediate as soon as the truck engine is shut off and the ComfortPro electric APU is turned on.
Low Maintenance System: With few moving parts compared to diesel APUs, ComfortPro electric APUs minimize maintenance expenses.
Faster ROI: Compared to a diesel APU, the li-ion ComfortPro electric APU has a lower total cost of ownership resulting in faster ROI.*
