"Taking a fresh approach to cab comfort and convenience, we designed the Aspen APU from the inside out for high performance, versatility, durability, reliability and easy of use," says Ryan Rubly, Carrier Transicold's product manager for alternative power. "We've added an innovative and easy-to-use control interface for drivers along with new APU configuration options for heating and hotel power loads."
The Aspen APU is built with marine-grade components and enhanced alloys for strength and corrosion resistance. Electronics are automotive grade and IP67 rated, and the unit is protected by a lightweight, corrosion-free housing cover that provides easy access to the power plant, even behind fairings.
