ECO Drive -DC-X

The Eco-Drive DC-X is an innovative idle-reduction system providing a range of benefits to your haul-truck fleet.
The Eco-Drive DC-X allows the asset’s main engine to be shut down at idle, whilst providing sufficient power and energy to run the DC-X air conditioning system and other critical operating systems.

The Eco-Drive DC-X System is made up of two parts:
​
  • The APU - The APU (auxiliary power unit) maintains the haul truck battery bank, via its high output 24V DC alternator driven by the compact CAT C0.5 2 Cylinder Diesel engine. When the main engine is turned off the APU automatically starts up to keep all systems operational.
​
  • The DC-X - This highly efficient variable speed 24V DC air conditioning compressor integrates seamlessly into your existing OEM air conditioning system to create a dual compressor application. It maintains the same in cab A/C control switches and activates automatically with the APU when the main engine is switched off.

Straight forward Installation With Minimal Impact

The suggested location for the Eco-Drive APU is near
the right-hand corner of most haul trucks, however you may find a more suitable location. It uses the trucks diesel fuel supply and connects to the truck battery bank.

The Eco-Drive DC-X unit is generally bolted underneath or near the cab and integrated into the existing OEM air conditioning system. It is powered by the vehicle’s own battery system and operates when the main engine is turned off.
