Offering the best aspects of a battery and an APU,
the Hybrid Power System is unlike any other anti-
idling equipment. That’s because the Hybrid Power
System combines the Bergstrom NITE® Plus System
with a KOHLER® DC power unit. The result is a cost-
effective, virtually maintenance-free, easy-to-install
idle-reduction system. And with both anti-idling
regulations and fuel costs on the rise, the Hybrid
Power System puts you in the driver’s seat. Isn’t that
where you want to be?
Introducing theHybrid Power System from
Bergstrom and Kohler A revolution in anti-idling technologies
THIS HYBRID POWER SYSTEM CONSISTS OF:
DC POWER UNIT
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
IN-CAB DUCT
ESPAR HEATER
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
Instead of idling, the Hybrid Power System provides stable power to the truck, allowing the owner to effi ciently run the HVAC system. When the battery power levels decrease to low voltage levels, the low-battery indicator is triggered and the KOHLER® DC power unit begins to recharge the batteries while keeping the Bergstrom NITE® Plus System operating uninterrupted. Should the truck’s battery also be depleted, the KOHLER DC power unit is able to recharge it. Because fuel is used only when the DC unit is recharging the batteries, very little is consumed. And when the Bergstrom NITE Plus System is running completely from battery power, it uses no fuel whatsoever and is 100% CARB compliant.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Fuel-Effi cient Because so little fuel is needed, this system is extremely cost-effective,
even when used for lengthy periods of time, sipping less than 0.1 gph in
recharge mode, .05 gph in heater mode and 0 gph in air conditioning mode.
• Minimal Maintenance There is virtually no maintenance on the batteries and air conditioning unit.
And because the KOHLER DC power unit is used only to recharge the
batteries, it requires very little maintenance.
• Low Noise Levels Advanced KOHLER engineering provides a custom sound-attenuated
enclosure that keeps the DC power unit operating at 68 dBA in recharge
mode and 50 dBA in heating and air conditioning mode.
• Light, Compact Design The frame-rail mounted KOHLER DC power unit weighs less than 250
pounds and measures a compact 15" x 28" x 24". The space-saving
design of the Bergstrom NITE System requires minimal room under the
bunk, leaving plenty of usable storage space.
• Emission Friendly
The Hybrid Power System is EPA Tier 2 certifi ed and CARB compliant except
for the minimal time when in recharge mode.

FEATURES AND bENEFITS
RELIABLE
KOHLER® mobile generators easily handle a variety of
electrical equipment and even protect valuable onboard
computer equipment from voltage fluctuations.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Single-side access makes routine maintenance checks
and serviceability easy.
WORRY-fREE
For everything from low coolant to low oil pressure,
KOHLER mobile generators automatically shut down to
protect against costly damage.
COMPACT
Because of their small, compact size, KOHLER generators
allow customers to maximize the use of their vehicle space.
SOUNd-ATTENUATEd ENCLOSURES
Most KOHLER diesel generators feature sound-attenuated
enclosures for superior noise reduction. Gas models do
not have enclosures.
EMISSIONS COMPLIANT
KOHLER mobile diesel and gas generators meet current
CARB and EPA requirements and feature reduced engine
noise emissions due to innovative designs in the engine
block, crankcase and fuel injection pump.
AdVANCEd dIGITAL CONTROL
The exclusive KOHLER Advanced Digital Control system
ensures that the generator starts up smoothly and protects
sensitive electronic equipment from voltage fluctuations.
The ADC also provides remote monitoring of up to 13 fault
conditions through the SAE J-1939 CAN Bus output.

When the battery power levels decrease to low voltage levels, the low-battery indicator is triggered and the KOHLER® DC power unit begins to recharge the batteries while keeping the Bergstrom NITE® Plus System operating uninterrupted. Should the truck’s battery also be depleted, the KOHLER DC power unit is able to recharge it. Because fuel is used only when the DC unit is recharging the batteries, very little is consumed.

KOHLER Auxiliary Power Units
With the increased cost in fuel and anti-idling
laws, running your truck engine when you
aren’t driving is no longer an option. Kohler offers
two unique APU solutions for the idle reduction
market. The 3APU is one of the lightest and most
compact APUs on the market and will quickly pay
for itself in less than 12 months. The KOHLER
7APU meets more intense load demands.
