International Trucks can now be spec’d with the Xantrex Freedom XC 1800W pure sine-wave inverter/charger, straight from the factory.

Xantrex said the option ensures longer surge power and clean electricity that is consistent, without spikes or drops in power. This better facilitates the use of sensitive medical devices, such as CPAP machines, in the cab.

“More than 75% of sleeper units are now being spec’d with inverters or inverter/chargers and that number continues to grow,” said Mitul Chandrani, vice-president of marketing for Mission Critical Electronics, the parent company of Xantrex. “It’s an AC-world in trucks these days – powering microwaves, laptops, medical devices and power tools. We’re thrilled that International customers have a choice with Xantrex – they can now spec our top-of-the-line Freedom XC inverter/charger, or for those not needing battery charging capability and less power (1,200 watts), our Freedom X 1200.”

The Freedom XC provides 1,800 watts of power and 4,000 watts of surge protection for two-second durations.

“That’s industry-leading and allows high-draw devices to be used, without fear of shutting down the inverter. It’s best-in-class,” Chandrani said.
