TruckAPUReview.com has rated the Dynasys APU from Hodyon Inc. as the number one solution for its ease of installation and maintenance, fuel savings and compliance with non-idling laws.
Requiring less than 20 inches of frame rail space, the externally mounted Dynasys APU is protected in its own weatherproof enclosure and operates using the truck’s fuel supply. The mounting system offers flexibility to accommodate all current Class 8 truck frames, and the unit can be located on either side of the truck and behind fairings.
Completely independent of the truck system, the Dynasys APU features R134a hermetic-style AC and electric heating, provides 6,000W of power from a belt-driven generator and has a 55-amp alternator to charge batteries. The APU is also available with shore power using any 110-volt outlet. According to the maker, other features include a one-touch control panel, and Auto Start, Low Voltage Start-up and Programmable Time and Date functions to allow pre-warming/cooling of the truck’s cab and engine.
Hodyon added the Dynasys APU is designed for easy servicing with service intervals that match the truck’s maintenance schedule, a removable cover that provides easy access to all maintenance items, a 1,000-hour oil change interval, convenient access to breakers and a self-tensioning serpentine drive system.
Hodyon offers a risk-free fleet trial program, in-house financing and assistance with grants aimed at facilitating the purchase of auxiliary power units. Through Sept. 30, 2012, the company is offering rebates to qualifying fleets and owner operators, and incentives to existing customers.
