WHAT Do ZeroRPM® Idle Mitigation Systems® Do For Me and My Fleet? ZeroRPM Idle Mitigation Systems (IMS)® eliminate unnecessary idling with hands-free control: once the vehicle is in park, the IMS® automatically shuts down the engine and provides all required power. Patented ZeroRPM® technology enables full use of the factory HVAC controls, providing comfortable use of the vehicle without the waste associated with engine idling. For extended times of stationary use of the vehicle, the IMS® automatically manages the engine start/stop to recharge the batteries as needed. When it is time to drive, a brake press starts the engine, readying the vehicle for use as transportation. Once in park again, the IMS® takes care of the rest, allowing the operator to focus on their duties without the distractions associated with manual idle reduction systems.

Improve Operator Comfort and Safety:The IMS^® provides full use of all HVAC and electrical components without the fumes and noise from an idling engine. The system’s automatic delivery of heat, air conditioning , and power for equipment in park (as if the engine were running while the engine is off) means few distractions. A focused operator is a safe and happy operator.

Protect the Environment:A gallon of gasoline and a gallon of diesel fuel produce 19.5 lbs and 22 lbs of CO₂, respectively, along with 18 grams of NO_x for heavy-duty vehicles. This translates to more than 12 tons of harmful emissions per vehicle per year, which means that a fleet of 100 vehicles could produce more than 12 million lbs of CO₂ and other harmful emissions over their lives.

Reduce Fuel Consumption:Diesel engines consume 0.9-1.2 gallons of diesel fuel during every hour of idling. When an engine's RPM gauge is at zero RPM, it consumes 0.0 gallons of fuel per hour, resulting in a typical payback from fuel savings ranging from two to four years.

Reduce Operating Costs:Every hour an engine idles, it is estimated to create the same wear and tear as 33 miles of driving. Many fleets reduce the payback period by 1/3 or more when maintenance cost reduction and asset life extension are factored into the payback calculation. DPF regenerations are often cut in half and manual regenerations are usually eliminated.
