What is Idle Reduction?

• "Idle reduction" is typically used to describe
  technologies and practices that reduce the amount
  of time heavy-duty trucks idle their engines.
• Reducing idle time saves fuel, engine wear, and
  money. In addition, it reduces emissions and
  noise.

Idle Reduction Benefits

• Reduces
• Petroleum Consumption and Fuel Costs
• Engine Wear and Maintenance Costs
• Diesel Emissions
• Noise

12
Petroleum Consumptionand Fuel Costs

• Approximately 460,000 long-haul trucks currently
  operating in the United States Idle reduction
  technologies could reduce diesel fuel use by 838
  million gallons per year.
• Wasted diesel fuel translates to 1.4 billion
  that could be saved by drivers using idle
  reduction technologies

Diesel Retro-fit Technologies

• Learn about the different retrofit technologies
  and how fleets around the country are installing
  these units to reduce air emissions.

19
Driver health

• Exhaust emits pollutants into your vehicle as
  well as the atmosphere.

20
For our health...

• The average American breathes 3,400 gallons of
  air a day.
• Children breathe 50 more air per pound than
  adults.
• A single vehicle dropping off and picking up kids
  at one school puts three pounds of pollution into
  the air per month.

21
Diesel Technology Forum

• An overview of retro-fit technologies

Health effects

• Childrens asthma symptoms increase as a result
  of car exhaust.
• Asthma is the most common chronic illness in
  children and the cause of most school absences.
• Asthma is the 3rd leading cause of
  hospitalization among children under 15 years.
