Idle Free officially introduced the Power Module, a new interior system module that makes it even easier to install the Idle Free electric APU. The Power Module combines and/or eliminates four interior system modules, reducing the number of modules installed beneath the bunk bed and the number of system connections.

The Power Module may not be available for all truck makes and models.

February 2009

Idle Free introduced a new patent-pending A/C unit for the Idle Free electric APU. The new A/C unit delivers 10,000 BTUs, more than twice the power of the A/C unit offered by the largest battery-based competitor. Even with this performance boost, the new system is more efficient than its predecessor, running at least 10 hours (instead of 8-10) on fewer batteries (four instead of five). In addition, the A/C unit reduces overall system installation time to approximately eight hours—half the installation time required for other systems.
