Idle-Reduction Technology Workshop

May 2004, WPNA celebrated 30-years of operations in North America with its new headquarters in Fenton, Michigan (USA).

Webasto Continues Its Growth and Influence as an Innovator In The Climate Control Industry

Privately owned company since 1901, Webasto invests heavily in research and development, with an emphasis on innovative products.

With over 6,200 employees based in over 40 countries, Webasto services heavy-duty truck, motorcoach, transit, shuttle, school bus, marine, military, off-highway, RV and light-duty vehicle markets.

In 1974, Webasto began operations in Canada & USA with In-cab air heaters & engine coolant preheating for heavy-duty markets and sunroofs for light duty vehicles.

The Many Reasons Why Idle Reduction Hasn’t Become A Part Of Operating Procedure

Driver Habits

Traditionally Low Diesel Fuel Prices

Little concern for the environment

No financial consequences

Idle-Reduction Technology Workshop

Emissions/Pollution

One liter of diesel fuel produces 2.8 kilograms of Green House Gases (GHGs).

An hour of idling produces 11.2 kilograms of GHGs.

A year's worth of idling (2,000 hours) produces over 20 tons of GHGs.

Engine Wear & Tear

Additional Engine maintenance required due to idling results in cost from $200-$2000/yr

The Cost Of Idling Is Impactful In The Air and Under The Hood

Idle-Reduction Technology Workshop

The Idling Impact on the Wallet and on the Dependence on Foreign Oil

Wasted Fuel

Fuel waste due to unnecessary idling results in 0.8-1.5 gal/hour (NREL/TP-540-33629, EPA 420-R-02-025)

1.2 billion gallons a year of fuel are consumed in the US by truck idling

Operating Cost

Studies show annual idling cost range from $3000 to $7000 per truck

The Signs Of No-Idling Regulations Begin Enforcement

Idling times vary from NO-IDLING (UT) to 15-minutes (NV).

Fines have ranged as high as $25,000 (Virginia Dept. of Environmental Quality).

25-States in the US maintain maximum idling time stipulations.

Notable proponents include the California Air Resources Board, Environmental Protection Divisions, Air Quality Agencies, Department of Energy, Health Departments and local agencies

The Tonnage figures shown above do NOT include emission data from passenger vehicles idling not equipped with an OEM or aftermarket remote starting devise.

Light-Duty Vehicle Remote Starters Doing Damage

In 2004 over 4 million remote starters were installed in North America. The practice of remote vehicle starting and subsequent unnecessary idling is growing at an alarming rate of 12.6% annually. – source Martec Study

Without a change, in 2010 OEM and aftermarket remote start idling will contribute the following annual emissions:

195,350 Tons of CO803 Tons of NOx

15,673 Tons of HC6,363,698 Tons of CO2
