¹ Diesel APUs are permitted under many state and local anti-idling rules. In California, APUs on 2007 and newer model-year trucks must route exhaust through the truck’s particulate filter or use a CARB-verified filter. Anti-idling rules vary by state and city.
Comparison reflects typical use while parked. SPU performance depends on configuration, battery capacity and load.
