Designed as a solution for mining trucks with excessive idle times, the anti-idle unit is a Direct Current (DC) air conditioning compressor system that pairs with a lithium-ion battery for direct integration into the truck’s OEM system.
The unit, which is built to operate in tough environments, is fixed near the cab and uses the existing in-cab OEM air conditioning controls along with applied logic to start and stop based on the site’s preferences. The anti-idle unit can operate continuously for up to 30 minutes with 1:1 battery charging ratio undertaken by the truck’s main battery tank. This is made possible by the specialised DC to DC charging interface to the lithium battery.
