MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Thermo King’s all-new electric auxiliary idle reduction and temperature management system, TriPace, has received verification from the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay Verified Technologies program, which recognizes products that reduce emissions, save fuel and deliver other benefits related to environmental sustainability. Thermo King’s engine-based auxiliary power unit (APU), the TriPac system, has also been verified by SmartWay.

“Thermo King continues to drive innovation for our customers and the APU marketplace by providing choice,” says Dwayne Cowan, APU manager for Thermo King. “Whether it is the TriPac, an engine-based solution, or TriPace, a non engine-based solution, Thermo King products represent best-in-class performance.”

The TriPace is the first electric APU from Thermo King, and is designed to maintain comfortable temperature conditions in the truck cab without running an engine. It is a battery-powered solution that uses power management technology to optimize energy used.
