Idle Reduction

Idle Reduction Technologies are devices that reduce the need for the truck driver to idle the main propulsion engine during extended rest periods when the driver needs to rest comfortably in the truck’s sleeper compartment. Idle Reduction Technologies can also be used to maintain engine warmth during extremely cold weather, operate on-board appliances, and maintain battery charge.

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamic drag (wind resistance) accounts for most truck energy losses at highway speeds. Reducing drag improves fuel efficiency – the longer the drive and the higher the speed, the greater the potential efficiency benefits.
