A study of truck idling has been completed by Argonne National Laboratory. Idling overnight has several impacts: wasted money, excess petroleum use, more air pollution and extra noise. This presentation outlines (1) the extent of truck diesel engine idling, (2) technology options to reduce idling, (3) estimated energy and emissions impacts, and (4) estimated costs. Alternative options considered are direct-fired heater, auxiliary power unit, thermal storage, direct heat with storage cooling and truck stop electrification.
