NO-IDLE TECHNOLOGY

PacLease recommends spec'ing no-idle technology for long-haul applications or high idle uses.
Kenworth's Clean Power and Peterbilt's Comfort Class are battery-powered climate control systems with the ability to provide engine-off heating and cooling, plus 110 volt "hotel load" power to drivers for a full 10 hours.
Cooling and electric capacity is generated and stored as the truck is running or connected to shore power. When off, the battery systems supply power to the cab. A thermostat regulates the driver's desired sleeper temperature and dial controlled fans circulate warm or cool air through the bunk areas.
Extensive testing shows that Kenworth Clean Power and Peterbilt Comfort Class can keep the sleeper cool for 10 hours, even with ambient outside temperatures of up to 95 degrees.
