Auxiliary Power Units (APU)

Powering the Modern Fighting Vehicle

Kinetics offers a comprehensive array of APUs specifically designed for heavy-duty military applications. Field-proven worldwide, these units offer significant operational benefits to modern fighting forces, even in extreme and harsh environmental conditions.

The APU has become increasingly important equipment in light of the rising demand for power for the vehicle’s routine operation and its on-board electrical systems. It can be used either independently or in Co-generation Mode, in parallel to the operation of the main engine. The APU generates significant cost savings through reduced wear and tear on the main engine, extended maintenance intervals and decreased fuel consumption.
