Dragonfly Energy enters heavy duty trucking market with new all-electric APU

Dragonfly Energy now brings its leading energy storage solutions to the heavy-duty trucking industry with the introduction of the new Battle Born All-Electric APU. Dragonfly Energy’s advanced lithium-ion battery system provides ample wattage to run auxiliary power on trucks, even when such trucks are not running. This transition to lithium-based APU systems presents a significant opportunity for the trucking industry to potentially save billions of dollars on fuel costs and reduce harmful emissions during idle periods. “As the trucking industry faces stricter regulations, we believe an all-electric APU is a crucial first step in reducing fuel consumption and emissions,” said Wade Seaburg, Chief Revenue Officer of Dragonfly Energy. “We are entering this growing market and have secured pilot programs with fleets representing roughly 15 percent of the North American heavy-duty trucking market. We believe this is a significant opportunity for Dragonfly Energy to diversify and grow its revenue while providing a compelling return on investment to fleet operators.” Dragonfly Energy has pilot programs underway with some of the industry’s top transportation companies, whose combined fleets include over 65,000 total trucks. The new Battle Born All-Electric APU is expected to help fleets improve their operating model by increasing uptime, driver retention, and progress toward sustainability goals as well as help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by improving fuel efficiency and reducing idle time, a major source of emissions in the transportation sector
