Control Module Industries under its CabAire division produces truck stop anti-idling systems. Anti-idling systems reduce the amount of DPM emissions and diesel toxins released into the environment by allowing drivers to obtain heat, air conditioning, and electricity in their cabin without the need to idle their truck engines. It is a widely common practice for tractor trailer drivers to leave their truck engines idling to gain heat, air conditioning, and electricity during mandated rest periods. Along with anti-idling systems, the company manufactures electric vehicle supply equipment. Electric vehicle supply equipment allows a PHEV, PEV, EREV, and or BEV to recharge their batteries while parked. Electric vehicle service equipment will provide the power infrastructure for the oncoming generation of electric vehicles.
