The Vanair EPEQ Idle Management (EPEQ IM) HVAC system is an advanced idle management solution engineered to extend fleet asset life, reduce total cost of ownership, and simplify adoption of electrified auxiliary technology. Designed for utility, municipal, and contractor fleets, the system automatically manages engine shutdown and restart while maintaining full cab comfort — eliminating unnecessary idling that accelerates wear, increases maintenance costs, and drives premature asset replacement.
Key features include
• Automatic Idle Management: Engine shutdown and restart based on thermostat demand and fleet-defined parameters, with no operator intervention required.
• Factory HVAC Integration: Unlike traditional systems, EPEQ® IM HVAC uses OEM heating and cooling components—delivering air through factory vents with no added dash units.
• Two-Module, Plug-and-Play Architecture: Reduces connection points by ~44% and installation time by up to 50% using OEM-style T-harness connectors that preserve factory wiring integrity.
• Scalable 48V ELiMENT® Battery System: Provides hours of runtime with modular expansion for extended duty cycles.
• Smart Power Management: Transfers electrical loads to the ELiMENT® battery during engine-off operation, preventing battery drain while maintaining full functionality.
• Centralized Control Interface: A single 4.3-inch display integrates idle management with other EPEQ® components for streamlined operation.
• Weatherproof, Flexible Mounting: Enables installation even in space-constrained vehicles.
