Reducing truck engine idling has been a subject of discussion for much of the past decade. In the weeks since the publication of the recommendations from the National Energy Policy Development Group to President George Bush, however, reducing truck engine idling has gone from a topic of conversation to an immediate action item.
For truck fleets willing to get involved and voluntarily implement idle control measures, however, there are more potential benefits, more sources of technical and financial support, and more good solution options than ever before. This FLEET OWNER Special Industry Report is designed to provide you with the latest information on new programs, idling regulations, and the alternatives to vehicle engine idling.
