Depending on the age and model of the truck engine, idling can potentially consume 1 gallon of fuel every hour. It also produces harmful environmental emissions and wastes a serious amount of fuel. Needless to say, idling is very costly and can be a huge factor in engine wear. The good news is, you can switch to bunk heaters that eliminate the need for idling for driver comfort. An initial investment in diesel heaters and bunk heaters can greatly improve the fuel efficiency of fleets.

The Real Cost of Idling

Did you know that an average truck idles for an average of 1500 hours annually, just for driver comfort? At $4.00 per gallon, that means a typical truck idles away some $6,000 every year. Multiply that amount with the number of vehicles in a fleet, and you will quickly realize that the money wasted is very significant. Idling also has severe negative impacts in on the environment, producing over 15 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. The United States is already the largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world—and idling certainly isn’t doing any help to improve the situation.

The Solution

To cut costs and reduce your fleet’s carbon emissions, equip your truck drivers with bunk heaters and diesel heaters. Experts estimate that emissions can be reduced by up to 34.5 million tons annually simply by eliminating idling.

It really makes sense to switch to a bunk heater, which provides as much as 20 hours of heat on just one gallon of diesel fuel—a very big improvement. Choose a diesel heater that can be installed in the underbunk storage of Class 8 sleeper cabs. The heater should be easy to control in the sleeper and should operate quietly to ensure that the trucker enjoys a restful sleep. Choose a bunk diesel heater that provides continuous heating to guarantee a constant cabin temperature.
