In 1984, Rex Greer, an independent truck driver invented the original Pony Pack in order to keep his engine warm, his batteries charged, and his cab comfortable throughout the night without running the truck engine.\u00a0 The only auxiliary systems available at that time were 110 generator-based and impractical. \u00a0He wanted a system that totally integrated with the truck\u2019s own systems so that the truck did not have to be modified in any way.\u00a0 This\u00a0made the Pony Pack the only practical solution.<\/p>\n
Today the Pony Pack is the best diesel APU option because it is the most efficient and dependable diesel\u00a0APU that is available. The Pony Pack has undergone multiple modifications throughout its history based on over 30 years of feedback from both independent operators and trucking companies. Today\u2019s Pony Pack outperforms all other APUs on the market. The multi-patented design of the Pony Pack uses the highest quality components. In addition, its unique integrated design provides for ease of installation and maintenance along with advantages over other diesel APUs and gen-sets.<\/p>\n
