A Lease based on 42 months for a KOHLER 3APU is approximately $255.00/month with NO MONEY DOWN.
The Reality of Idling Truck Diesel Engine Idle Consumption - 1 gph (gallon per hour) Hours Idled per day on average - 6-8 for sleeping alone (DOT standard log book sleeping requirements) - 2-4 hours waiting, loading, etc Truck Utilization days per week - 5-6 days Engine Wear & Tear at Idle - Excessive Idle can add the equivalent of 20, 000 miles/year to an engine Cost of Diesel Fuel - $4.50/gallon
8 hours X 5 days = 40 Hours of idle per week (VERY CONSERVATIVE) 40 Hours X 1 GPH= 40 gallons of fuel 40 gallons x $4.50/ gallon = $180.00/week
$180 /week X 52 weeks = $9360 /year OR $780 / month!!!!(This number DOES NOT INCLUDE MAINTENANCE, WEAR & TEAR, or IDLING FINES)
A Lease based on 42 months for a KOHLER 3APU is approximately $255.00/month with NO MONEY DOWN.
With Auto Stop/Start the fuel consumption on the APU can be “as low as” 0.1 gph. (At full load, constant high idle, the 3APU consumes 0.18 gph)
This is 1/10 of and gallon based on the above calculations, that equals approx. $78.00 / month.
Therefore, the Kohler 3APU can be added, installed and run for less than $350/month.
THIS REPRESENTS AND IMMEDIATE SAVINGS OF APPROXIMATELY $450.00 / month based on this simple and very conservative estimate.
