Canadian long-haul carriers running TransCanada, I-94 cross-border to Detroit and CN/CP intermodal corridors operate under provincial anti-idling laws (Ontario 5 minutes, BC 3 minutes, Quebec 3 minutes) plus Transport Canada hours-of-service rules requiring mandatory 8-10 hour rest periods. Battery-powered parking AC keeps drivers compliant and comfortable across all four seasons. Vethy supplies 12V and 24V rooftop parking AC for Class 8 sleeper cabs (Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680, Peterbilt 579, International LT, Volvo VNL) operating from Halifax to Vancouver.

Canadian anti-idling compliance

Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba and several municipal jurisdictions (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton) enforce anti-idling bylaws with fines from $80 to $500 per offence. Battery-powered parking AC keeps drivers in compliance during mandatory rest periods without engine idle. Fleets typically recover unit cost within 12–18 months from diesel savings alone, before considering avoided fines and reduced engine wear.

Products for Canadian Class 8 fleets

Our Canadian lineup covers VS02 PRO, ZH 1000, VC 1000, VC 2000. The VS02 PRO 24V rooftop unit is engineered for North American Class 8 sleeper cabs and includes heat pump operation down to -15°C — critical for prairie and northern Canadian winters. The ZH 1000 12V variant supports Sprinter, Transit and Promaster van conversions popular with Canadian #vanlife builders and last-mile delivery operators.

Cold weather performance

Vethy parking AC includes integrated heat pump mode reversing the refrigeration cycle to provide cabin heating without engine idle. Operating range extends to -15°C ambient; below that an auxiliary fuel-fired heater is recommended for full overnight comfort. Lithium auxiliary batteries (with built-in low-temperature charging protection) are recommended over AGM for Canadian winter use.

Shipping and customs to Canada

We ship to Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Halifax and Prince Rupert ports. Typical sea freight is 25–30 days from Qingdao to Vancouver, 40–45 days to Montreal via Panama. Air freight to YYZ, YVR or YUL is 5–7 days. Units ship with NAFTA/CUSMA-compatible commercial invoices and HS codes (8415.20) for streamlined CBSA clearance.

Frequently asked questions

Are Vethy parking AC units compliant with Canadian provincial anti-idling laws?

Yes. The whole point of a battery-powered parking AC is to keep the cab comfortable without running the main engine, which is exactly what anti-idling bylaws require. The unit operates from the truck's auxiliary battery system.

Will the unit work in -30°C Saskatchewan or Manitoba winters?

Heat pump cooling and heating is rated to -15°C ambient. Below that, a parallel fuel-fired heater (Webasto/Eberspächer/Espar) handles cab heating; parking AC handles summer cooling. Most prairie fleets run both systems.

Do you provide French-language documentation for Quebec?

User manuals can be supplied in French on request for Quebec deployments. All control panels use universal icons; product labels comply with bilingual Canadian labelling where required.

What's the typical payback period in Canada?

At CAD 1.40–1.80/L diesel and 10-hour rest periods, fuel savings alone deliver payback in 14–20 months. Adding avoided idling fines and reduced engine maintenance shortens payback to under 12 months for high-mileage long-haul tractors.
