Fact #973: April 17, 2017 Truck Stop Electrification Services to Reduce Idling Are Available in 35 States

SUBSCRIBE to the Fact of the Week

Truck stop electrification reduces engine idle time for large trucks by providing external power to truck cabs for climate control and other accessories while drivers rest at truck stops. This makes it unnecessary for trucks to idle for hours to produce their own power. Idle reduction at truck stops reduces fuel consumption, emissions and engine maintenance that is tied to hours of operation. Rest-period truck idling in the United States consumes up to 1 billion gallons of fuel annually at a cost of around $3 billion. As of the end of March 2017, there were four companies providing truck stop electrification services in 35 states at 106 different locations according to the Alternative Fuels Data Center.
