3rd Generation TriPac® APU
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 now includes industry-leading TracKing® Telematics and 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.
Bring the comforts of home on the road
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:
- Standard model: A 49-state EPA Tier 4 compliant solution for aftermarket installs
- Aftertreatment device model: A 50-state compliant solution for CARB and EPA Tier 4 compliant for new OEM or aftermarket installs
A TriPac first: TracKing® telematics
TracKing® telematics come standard with 24 months of complimentary service to 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.

Why are auxiliary power units environmentally and cost friendly?
Pump Less Gas. Save More Cash.
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.
*Based on actual customer experiences. Individual results may vary.
