IMPCO Technologies Launches New Complementary ComfortPro Auxiliary Power Unit for Class 8 Trucks

SANTA ANA, Calif., June 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMPCO Technologies, Inc., launches its ComfortPro(R) Stand Alone diesel Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) for the new Class 8 trucks in North America.

The new ComfortPro Stand Alone APU is available exclusively through the Carrier Transicold dealer network in the US and Canada.

With the addition of this new complementary APU product, IMPCO offers our customers a complete product range of idle reduction solutions for providing comfort and value to fleets and independent operators in North America, stated Richard Nielsen, Executive VP of IMPCO Technologies.

The new ComfortPro Stand Alone APU does not require the modification of connecting into the truck diesel engine coolant system and is fitted with a rigorous duty generator and industrial grade belt systems. With the availability of the next generation of high pressured diesel engines, ComfortPro Stand Alone APU avoids tapping into the truck's diesel engine coolant lines while providing all of the well-known standard features and benefits of the ComfortPro PC 6012 unit.

Our new Stand Alone product confirms IMPCO's commitment to the Idle Reduction business and to its dealer network, said Jaime Portaluppi, Director of Sales for the Industrial Division. As diesel prices continue to climb, idle reduction solutions truly enhance the bottom line for fleets and independent operators. At the same time, cab comfort is recognized as a priority for driver's retention as the transportation industry recovers. These two drivers are key elements of our continued success in the market place.

IMPCO Technologies Inc. a division of Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc., manufactures the ComfortPro Auxiliary Power unit in its facility located in Ontario-Canada. In addition to the Idle Reduction product line, IMPCO Technologies Inc., provides turn-key solutions for mobile equipment and stationary engines, including industrial forklifts, sweepers, auxiliary power units/generators, and construction equipment and is dedicated to a better world through cleaner air.
