Idle Smart Enhances Fuel Saving Solution
Idle Smart, the provider of a patented idle reduction solution designed to save fuel for fleets and drivers, has announced a number of product enhancements at the American Trucking Associations’ Annual Management Conference & Exhibition. The latest features of the Idle Smart solution facilitate installation on every make and model of truck, and save fuel by eliminating unnecessary idling.
“As part of our ongoing effort to continually improve our fuel saving solution for fleets and drivers, we have developed new features that streamline installation and further eliminate unnecessary idling,” said Jeff Lynch, CEO at Idle Smart. “Many of our latest enhancements are the result of customer feedback. Those fleets and drivers are already using Idle Smart to realize a reduction in idling of up to 70 percent as well as a significant reduction in engine wear.”
New features of Idle Smart designed to enable the solution to be implemented more easily on every 2005 and newer truck make and model include: a jumper for automatic transmissions that saves time during installation, a redesigned hood switch and a temperature sensor that standardizes the location on every truck.
Additionally, Idle Smart Fuel Optimization Software™ now utilizes a new algorithm that determines when to automatically turn off the Idle Smart unit, saving unnecessary idling if the system is left on when the driver is not in the vehicle for extended periods of time.
Idle Smart continuously monitors interior and ambient temperatures and efficiently starts and stops a vehicle to maintain desired cabin temperature and reduce fuel consumption. Fully customizable and password protected, programming temperature and timer settings with the Idle Smart solution is easily accomplished using the unit’s intuitive display and menu driven format.
Idle Smart remembers user settings and will operate automatically in Temperature mode. In Timer Mode, Idle Smart runs the engine for a programmed amount of time when the cabin temperature is outside the pre-set comfort range. The programmable timer, a standard feature, also helps ensure compliance with idle restriction laws.
The maintenance free Idle Smart solution includes under dash and display units, the Idle Smart ProSmart Harness™ for ECM communication, Idle Smart Fuel Optimization Software™ and all necessary system installation components. The unit can be quickly and easily installed and is transferable between vehicles.
