Marc EllisonV.P. of
Operations
Save fuel expenses and maintenance labor by
automatically eliminating unnecessary idling
Each pilot vehicle in Sacramento saved an average of 113 gallons
of fuel & 2100lbs of CO2 over the course of 12 months*
*without optional thermistor
FactsEvery hour of idle time
uses 0.61 gallons of fuel
Every gallon of gas produces 19lbs of CO2
Every hour of idling is equal to 25 miles driven.
FactsVehicle mfg. are now
paying more attention to idle time vs. miles driven when it comes to warranty claims
1.5 hrs/day x 25 miles x 5 days x 50 weeks = 9,375 additional miles of driving
Add up all of the extra maintenance costs
Facts You waste more fuel if you idle
for more than 5 seconds than restarting a warm engine.
More states, counties, & cities are adding anti-idling regulations every year.
You do not have to impact passenger comfort
WA has 5th highest fuel prices in the country. (AAA report)
FeaturesFully automatic Electrical accessories continue to
function with engine off.Low battery voltage will auto restart.Shut down inhibit input.
(e.g. A/C “on” or Lift in “use”)Optional thermistor to restart if
vehicle temp is too hot or cold. No special skills for driver to learn.
