Electric Vehicle APU Available on MT50e

The Odyne evAPU (electric vehicle auxiliary power unit) will eliminate the need for fossil fuel-powered generators on the MT50e chassis used in work truck applications.

Thousands of work vehicles use generators to provide electrical power for tools and equipment at job sites and Odyne said this creates unnecessary harmful emissions and noise pollution.

The Odyne evAPU system has a large 35 kWh grid-recharged battery system and export power inverters that provide 6 to 12 kW of AC 120V or 240V electrical power.
