Dragonfly Energy, Paccar partner on lithium-powered solutions whitepaper

Dragonfly Energy Holdings (DFLI) publishes a new whitepaper developed in collaboration with PACCAR (PCAR), a global leader in the design and manufacture of premium trucks, around reducing idling and fuel costs. The whitepaper, Reducing Idle Time & Fuel Costs: Lithium Powered Solutions for Commercial Fleets, evaluates the performance, reliability, and operational benefits of lithium-powered idle-reduction solutions, including all-electric APUs and hybrid systems such as the Battle Born DualFlow Power Pack, when compared to traditional diesel-powered and AGM-based alternatives. The report incorporates real-world fleet trial data and Environmental Chamber Testing conducted at the PACCAR Technical Center, validating the technology’s performance under worst-case operating scenarios. The PACCAR Technical Center is a world-class research and development facility recognized for testing next-generation truck technologies, including advanced powertrains, vehicle systems, and emissions solutions. The whitepaper details key outcomes for fleets, including: Fuel and cost savings: Significant reductions in fuel consumption and idle hours compared to diesel APUs and AGM systems. Driver comfort and safety: Reliable power for full 10-hour rest periods without disruptive engine restarts. Fleet reliability: Lower maintenance costs and extended engine life by reducing unnecessary idle wear. Proven results: Performance validated through testing at the PACCAR Technical Center and confirmed in commercial fleet trials.
