Aux power unit

Apr 24, 2010

Mantis Metalworks’ Mantis-175 Auxiliary Power Unit was developed to lower fuel costs while maintaining creature comforts while a truck is idled. The unit has a quiet Isuzu 3-cylinder engine that runs at 1,800 rpm, which preserves engine life and consumes less fuel, the company says. The unit also has a diamond-plate exterior.
