Truck drivers will always have their share of dealing with the weather changes and driving a large truck under the prickly heat will always be a discomfort. Add to the fact that they have to deal with the toxins and fumes from their usually diesel run trucks and you may be imperiling their overall health as well. But that was yesterday.

Today, an old technology claimed to be renewed is being offered by Webasto, a trucking company that makes equipment. The piece of equipment is called the BlueCool which helps circulate cooler temperature from the unit all the way to the bunk area.

When the truck is stopped, the driver turns on an air handler that circulates coolant around the ice and blows cold air from the unit into the bunk area of the cab. The fan and circulation pump use only 3.5 to 10 amps from the truck’s battery — which means there’s no danger of draining the battery, Webasto says.
