When drivers stop for safety rest periods, they often have little choice but to leave their engines running to provide power for basic comfort services like heat and air conditioning and to provide power for other systems. Idling like this increases fuel costs for truckers, adds wear and tear on the engine and generally adds to overall transportation costs. It also creates diesel emissions which are known to be harmful to human health and CO2, a global warming contributor. Reducing idling with technologies such as truck stop electrification, is a “win-win” for truck drivers, truck stop operators and the community as a whole.

McCoy Freightliner carries anti-idling solutions that allow drivers to reduce unnecessary truck engine idling, conserve diesel fuel and save money.
