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 Australian 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.
