Why long-haul truck drivers are turning to parking air conditioners

With the continuous development of the long-distance transportation industry, many truck drivers mentioned that in tropical areas, their original vehicle air conditioners cannot provide a suitable temperature. During the rest process, it is often difficult to rest due to excessive noise, requiring extra rest and physical stress. The discomfort makes the transportation efficiency lower. Unlike the original vehicle air conditioner, the truck parking air conditioner can perfectly solve this problem. It is significantly different from the traditional original vehicle air conditioning system in many aspects. These differences not only improve the driver’s comfort when parking and resting, but also contribute to energy saving and environmental protection.

Compared with the original parking air conditioning system, the biggest advantage of parking air conditioning is its energy consumption pattern. While stock vehicle systems rely on the engine to operate, parking air conditioning is designed to be used when the engine is turned off, typically relying on the vehicle’s battery or an independent power system such as solar panels. This means that even during long periods of parking, the driver can enjoy continuous cooling or heating without placing additional strain on the engine. In terms of installation location, the parking air conditioner is usually installed in the sleeping compartment of the truck, which is different from the front integrated position of the original vehicle air conditioner. The different installation positions make parking air conditioning a flexible supplementary option, providing extra comfort especially for drivers who need to park for long periods of time.

In terms of noise control, parking air conditioning also has significant advantages. They are usually designed to be quieter, taking into account the fact that drivers may need to take breaks while parking. This is in contrast to the stock air conditioner, which can be noisy when the engine is running.
