THE LATEST NEWS ON APU'S !!!!

Payback periods may not justify APU use unless APU use and fuel costs are high: The economics of APUs are sensitive to the annual avoided fuel use. Many studies appear to use high values for base engine fuel use and low values for APU fuel use, combined with assumed but uncertain hours of substitution of APU usage for that of the base engine, which leads to estimated payback periods of 1.4 to 4.3 years.

For $4.50 per gallon or lower diesel fuel price, no truck has positive net cost savings because the reduction in fuel cost is not enough to offset levelized capital cost or non-fuel O & M cost, even if the latter are at the low end of their ranges. Payback periods for all trucks range from longer than 5 years to no payback period (no net discounted savings) for fuel price of $4.50 per gallon and lower. For low APU capital cost, no discount rate and $8 per gallon fuel price, only six trucks have payback periods shorter than 5 years and the shortest of these is 3 years.
