RoyPow Launches All Electric Truck Energy Storage System in USA

Unlike the traditional diesel-powered APUs running on noisy generators which require regular maintenance or AGM battery-powered APUs which need frequent battery replacement, RoyPow's Truck ESS is a 48V all-electric system powered by LiFePO4 lithium batteries, offering long-haul truck drivers quieter in-cab comfort (≤35 dB noise level), longer run-time (14+ hours) without excessive engine wear or tractor idling.

Since there is no diesel engine, RoyPow's Truck ESS significantly lowers operating costs by reducing fuel consumption and minimizing maintenance.

The whole system is comprised of a variable-speed HVAC, a LiFePO4 battery pack, an intelligent alternator, a DC-DC converter, an optional solar panel, as well as an optional all-in-one inverter (inverter + charger + MPPT).

By capturing energy from the truck's alternator or solar panel and then storing in the lithium batteries, this integrated system is able to provide both AC and DC power to run the air conditioner and other high power accessories such as a coffee maker, electric stove, etc.

The shore power option can also be utilized when it is available from an external source at truck stops or service areas.

"We are not doing things the same way as the traditional APU, we are trying to solve current APU shortcomings with our innovative one-stop system. This renewable Truck ESS will significantly improve the drivers work environment and quality of life on the road, as well as reducing Total Cost of Ownership for the truck owners." Said Michael Li, Vice President at RoyPow Technology.
