Cummins Inc. said J&R Schugel Trucking has ordered 300 trucks powered by Cummins ISX engines and equipped with Cummins ComfortGuard auxiliary power unit (APU) systems, which Cummins began producing
for the marketplace eight months ago.
ComfortGuard is Cummins first complete auxiliary power unit system for over-the-road trucks. The system combines the technology from the Cummins Onan generator with tailored HVAC components to power all hotel loads for comfort and convenience. The system offers an effective solution to anti-idling regulations and the high cost of diesel fuel.
The Cummins ComfortGuard APU system can pay for itself in about 18 months or less through reduced engine idling. In addition, its unique plug-and- play design reduces the cost of installation by up to one-half while lowering fuel costs and reducing wear and tear on the main engine.
