Idle Emissions * USA - TTI and EPA Launch Web Site to Reduce They
Washington,DC,USA -TruckingInfo -25 June 2007: -- Researchers with the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) have finished the first phase of a three-year project for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to help reduce the estimated 500 tons of nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere each day by idling trucks... It is estimated that these idling trucks waste 300,000 gallons of fuel every day. The TTI project resulted in a nationwide deployment strategy for truckstop electrification (TSE) and a user-friendly web tool that pinpoints ideal locations for this technology... Until recently, truckers had no option but to keep their diesel engines idling in order to power their onboard air conditioners, heaters, televisions and microwaves. Starting a few years ago, some truckstops across the country installed idle reduction technology equipment, which allows the drivers to turn off their engines and "plug-in" to the outside power supply...
