| Everyone in the trucking industry knows how fuel costs are beginning to create headaches. What everyone may not know is how they can fight back and start cutting costs today. For example take Truck X, operates 110,000 miles annually, runs 20 hours per day, 5 days per week, 48 weeks a year. This truck gets an average of 6.0 MPG with a total economy of 5.25 MPG. Truck X idling 55%, which is 11 hours per day @ 1.0 GPH with a fuel price of $2.82/gal will cost $59,085 to operate annually. The total cost to idle 55% (2640 hrs) is $7,444.80 annually. How can IDLE SMART save Truck X??? By reducing the idle time of Truck X to even 30% idle time the annual fuel cost to operate Truck X is $47,944.36 with idle costs cut back to $4,060.80. $7444 - $4060 = $3384/year SAVINGS With the increased fuel mileage, Truck X has an annual driving fuel savings of $7,757.35. 59,085.71 - 7,444.80 = 51,640.91 DRIVING FUEL 47,944.36 - 4,060.80 = 43,883.56 DRIVING FUEL 51,640.91 - 43,883.56 = 7,757.35 DRIVING SAVINGS That's only cutting idle time to 30%. The IDLE SMART unit can cut idle time even more and STILL keep the operator COMFORTABLE!!! How many Trucks do you run?? 10 TRUCKS X $7,757.35 = 77,573.50/YEAR 20 TRUCKS X $7,757.35 = 155,147.00/YEAR The savings grow exponentially with each Truck X you put it on!!! |
