Maximum Fuel Savings: In ECONO Mode, the CCS Lightning maximizes fuel savings by running the APU only when necessary to maintain the temperature in the cab and to ensure the truck will start in all conditions.
Cooling Configuration: Tie into the truck engine’s cooling system to maximize heating efficiency and minimize fuel consumption, or choose the optional stand-alone remote radiator - the choice is yours.
Quiet and Low Vibration: The CCS Lightning sets the new benchmark in reducing noise and vibration - enough to not awaken the driver when starting and stopping.
Low Maintenance: Extended oil sump and filter kit offering a TRUE increased oil changed interval of 500 hours, more than doubling manufacturer's standard oil change intervals. Alternator direct drive system requiring no alternator drive belt maintenance.
Easy to Use: The CCS Lightning is controlled through a single, simple to use panel in the truck's cab.
