Cool, Cost-Effective Comfort

A no-idle climate system with the industry’s smallest footprint

Powered by four heavy-duty AGM batteries, SmartAir^TM can keep a sleeper cool and comfortable for up to 10 hours at a stretch. At the same time, the SmartAir no-idle climate-control system lowers fuel costs and cuts emissions.

SmartAir is factory-installed and available for sleeper-equipped configurations of the Model 579 and Model 567. The technology integrates with existing sleeper HVAC systems for optimal performance, using existing ducting, so it never stands in the way of a superior fit and finish.

SmartAir uses 70% less fuel than diesel-based auxiliary power units. It charges in 25% less time than similar no-idle battery packs. Better yet, it comes with on-board diagnostics and requires no scheduled maintenance.

Installed to Spec
