What’s Wrong With Idling Trucks?

Fleet Expenses Related to Idling Vehicles*

Fuel Consumption• Diesel engines consume about one gallon of fuel per hour

Maintenance• Idling results in inefficient combustion, increasing soot-load downstream into after treatment

• After treatment plugs requiring regeneration, burning more fuel to clean DPF of soot load

• Increased regeneration decreases life of catalyst filters costing over $1,000 each

Durability –decreased life of these parts• Fan clutch, air compressor, belts, idler pulleys, alternator, water pump, turbo injectors, after

treatment exhaust system, air cleaners, and EGR valves

Idle Reduction Saves Dollars—Sleeper Truck

Example:

– Diesel fuel costs $4 per gallon*– Idling consumes approximately one gallon per hour– Idling for 8 hours per night for heat while driver sleeps– Cost $32 per night to idle the truck (fuel only)– 120 average cold nights per year– $3,840 cost of fuel used to idle one truck per season

THE FIGURES MAY CHANGE But the message remains the same

IDLE REDUCTION SAVES BIG DOLLARS

*US national average diesel $3.87 on 10/28/13

A ‘Fuel Sipper’ – The Espar D2 Bunk heater on medium heat consumes 0.037 gallons per hour = $1.18 of fuel in 8 hours
