Q: How much fuel does the NITE system consume?
A: The air-conditioning system is fully independent of the truck’s electrical system. Driven by the exclusive NITE rechargeable power source, the air conditioner draws no energy from the truck’s electrical system when the truck engine is shut down. The heating system uses a tiny fraction of the diesel fuel that is burned by an idling engine: 0.03 to 0.06 gallons per hour, compared with about 1 to 1.5 gallons per hour.
Q: Is the NITE system difficult to install?
A: Actually, the NITE system's space-efficient design allows for easy installation. The NITE system now fits almost any truck, old or new. Owner-operators and fleet owners can retrofit existing trucks or spec new trucks with the NITE system.
