With fuel savings alone, the “Banana” APU can pay for itself in under a year.
On average, a heavy-duty diesel Locomotive burns around 5 gallons of fuel per hour. Multiply that by the 40 hours of downtime drivers typically experience each week, and with current fuel prices, a significant portion of your income is literally going up in smoke.
Save More with Less Idling, by installing the Banana APU
Locomotive idling wastes fuel, causes excessive engine wear, and leads to increased maintenance costs. If you manage a fleet, this inefficiency could be costing you thousands of dollars every month.
To further enhance savings and operational efficiency, IEP has introduced a GPS APU Health Monitoring System to the “Banana” APU. This system allows customers to track both APU and locomotive operations in real time, with reporting intervals as fast as every 10 seconds.
The system generates critical data on fuel savings, engine runtime, and any operational anomalies. In the event of a fault, it’s flagged immediately online, allowing operators to quickly respond. This advanced monitoring capability also enables IEP to remotely troubleshoot and assist customers without being on-site.
