Diesel Idling and the IdleAire Solution
There are an estimated 4.2 million large diesel trucks in America and 1.3 million of them long-haul trucks with sleepers. Drivers of these trucks traditionally idle their engines during required rest periods (10 hours for every 11 hours on the road) or while waiting on loads (24 hours or more in some instances). Idling engines provide power for air conditioning, heating and various appliances in the cab.
