FUEL SAVINGS
Typically, every 100 vehicles can save
as much as $100K annually from
non-operational IDLE-Time.

Fuel penalty = 1 gallon

2.5 4.5 litres or more per / hour.

Have your telematics provider run a report

to identify potential savings.
MAINTENANCE SAVINGS
SEE the CUMMINS reports.

Fuel economy penalty = 2.5 4.5 litres per/hour.

IDLE: most inefficient mode emissions.
Fuel contamination of lube oil is high at IDLE.
Cylinder wall wear is accelerated by wash down.
Short term idling actually over cools the engine.
Engine life can be reduced by up to 20%.
500 hrs of idling = 64,000 miles of wear.
Noise emissions.
MAINTENANCE SAVINGS
How Much is IDLE-Time Costing You?
SEE Caterpillar

All those non-productive hours translate into a

lot of wasted fuel: 1 gallon or more every hour.

Some industry experts say its not unusual for

idle time to represent as much as 40-50% of
total running time.
MAINTENANCE SAVINGS
SEE the FORD Power Stroke Diesel report.

HIGH IDLE-Time Impact

6 hours of IDLE-Time per day = 15,000 simulated miles.
Conclusion: after 100 days the engine oil actually has
20,000 miles of wear.

If the scheduled maintenance were based on engine hours

instead of miles driven, oil changes would be required
approximately every 30 days.

COMPETITIVENESS
Governments / large corporations now commonly
have aggressive emissions reduction targets in place
to address climate change and air quality.

Leading companies in the private sector are leaders in

maximizing operational efficiencies.
