Thermo King TriPac: The APU drivers ask for by name.
The 3rd generation TriPac diesel APU provides the same comfort and performance customers expect from Thermo King but is now compatible with industry-leading TracKing® Telematics and includes new emission reduction technology. We have re-engineered several systems to deliver substantial improvements to long-term quality — reducing the total cost of ownership, as well as improving uptime. Plus, new controls offer a digital, color display giving drivers greater control over their comfort.
Providing a best-in-class 13,000 BTUs and plenty of capacity to power appliances and charge devices, the TriPac APU brings the comforts of home on the road.
Available in two models:
A TriPac First: TracKing® Telematics
Available for the first time as an option, TracKing® telematics provide line of sight to APU run hours and cabin temperatures and also automate fuel tax reporting. Plus, real-time alarm notifications and maintenance reminders keep TriPac running smoothly. Over-the-air software updates instantly download new capabilities and bug fixes.
A More Human Interface
An enhanced color digital display, tactile push buttons and plain language readouts create one of the most intuitive in-cab controllers on the market. The digital HMI provides drivers greater control over driver comfort and APU operations with large cabin temperature readings, function icons and toggling menus.
Enjoy 50-State Compliance with Reimagined Emission Reduction Technology
Choose the TriPac APU model with a passive aftertreatment device (ATD) that is a 50-state compliant solution for California Air Resource Board (CARB) and is EPA Tier 4 compliant for new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or aftermarket installations. Elimination of the dash switch gives your drivers one less thing to worry about. Plus, new metal mesh technology provides fast regeneration — in as little as eight minutes.
We doubled the standard warranty for major components to four years and extended the bumper-to-bumper coverage to two years.

The TriPac APU consumes approximately 75% less fuel per hour than idling the tractor engine. That’s about 2,500 gallons per year in fuel savings, or 10,000 gallons over the typical length of tractor ownership.
