Immediate Environmental & Economical Sustainability!
Through constant research and development the IEP team remains committed to the enhancement, refinement and perfection of its locomotive idle reduction, fuel savings and air conditioning technologies.
Take Advantage of Our Banana (Auxiliary Power Unit) & Orange (Air Conditioner) Locomotive Combination
Our Banana APU charges the main batteries. Therefore, if you have our Banana APU, when the engine shuts down, our Orange (AC) will still run. Cool in the summer and heat in the winter. Both our systems work on a 72VDC.

An integral member company of INPS Group Inc., INPS Environmental Products Inc. (IEP), enhances the decades of rail industry presence of the INPS Group of companies with real-world rail and industrial experience.
Responsible for the first patented locomotive (APU), the IEP team also developed the methodology to earn emissions reduction credits from a mobile source. The first of its kind in North America.
Our Experience
IEP draws upon the experience of providing heating, air conditioning, and other thermo-dynamic solutions to the construction, military and transport truck industry, including the production of thousands of locomotive APU’s and tens of thousands of truck APU’s.
Banana (APU) – Save on Fuel without Sacrificing Crew Comfort
VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) technology works like the accelerator in a car, by matching the Out-Put to the Load. The compressor starts up smoothly and ramps up until it meets the demand. When the Thermostat is satisfied, it ramps down to match the lower demand.
Key Features
