Abstract | Considerable progress has been made to develop alternatives to idling long-haul diesel trucks equipped with sleeper cabs. One alternative is Truck Electrified Parking (TEP) using either an 'on-board' auxiliary power unit approach or an 'off-board' (IdleAire-full services) approach. The 'on-board' technologies provide grid-based electricity to the truck sleeper cab similar to the electrical plug-in hookups seen at marinas and RV parks. The 'off-board' approach supplies 120-volt alternating current electric power as well as HVAC from a stationary overhead distribution system. Off-board systems have been estimated to cost three to six times more than on-board generator systems. However, government agencies including the Department of Energy, are working to develop a more 'electric truck' with electrified on-board systems including HVAC. As this transition to on-board systems occurs, much of the benefit of the off-board system will be diminished; therefore, shore power systems are a much more cost-effective idle-reduction solution. |
