unlocking a new era of efficient power
We’re commercializing the most efficient and the first truly fuel flexible power systems, starting with Diesel-APUs for Long-Haul and Refrigerated Trucking.
The Benefits
leveraging power & versatility
REVOLUTIONARY Efficiency
Petra Solid Oxide APUs generate power from diesel while reducing fuel consumption by 90% vs combustion – slashing operating costs.
SUBSTANTIAL COST SAVINGS
Boost fleet operating margins by reducing annual APU fuel costs by $5K+ and annual APU operating costs by $7K+.
SLASH EMISSIONS
Running on diesel fuel, Petra APU reduces emissions by 90% vs combustion APUs – helping fleets hit ESG targets and remain compliant.
DROP-IN INTEGRATION
Designed to integrate with existing fuel and electrical systems for a quick, easy, and low-cost retrofit.
DRIVER COMFORT
Silent, odorless, and vibration-free operation means no more sleepless nights for drivers, and better driver retention.
MADE IN THE USA
Petra APUs are designed, manufactured, and assembled in the American heartland – Solon, OH.
long haul and beyond
Process and Vision
We took our advanced Solid-Oxide technology and designed it specifically for the environmental and performance needs of long-haul trucks.
Petra Power is building an APU for long-haul and REEFER trucks that works with existing fuel supply chains (diesel) while immediately improving fuel efficiency, increasing power output, and reducing total cost of ownership.
Our vision is to deploy environmentally impactful technology that trucking operators choose because our APU performs better at a lower cost.
