Kenworth has announced its Clean Power no-idle system is now available for order as a factory-installed option on Kenworth T800 and W900 models that are equipped with a 72-in. AeroCab sleeper.
According to the company, Clean Power enhances fuel economy by as much as 8% for customers with high-idling times through its deep-cycle batteries that power a thermal storage cooler with 21,000 BTUs of cooling capacity, providing engine-off cooling and heating plus 120-volt power for hotel loads.
The system is in full compliance with California Air Resources Board (CARB) idling regulations that went into effect this year for sleeper trucks with 2007 and later model engines, Kenworth said.
