gears (varies per truck)
Upshift between 1400 – 1600 rpm in upper
gears (varies per truck)
Downshift around 1100-1200 rpm (varies
per truck)

Reduce Idle Time
(An immediate way to reduce fuel consumption)
![Page 23: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What Is Idling?
Examples
• Trucks idling while in queue
• Vehicles waiting to load/unload
passengers or goods, including:
• Delivery trucks
• Shuttle buses
• Taxis
When a vehicle is running for non-propulsion purposes, it is idling.
![Page 24: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some Idling Is Difficult To Avoid
Running emergency lights and other auxiliaries
• Emergency vehicles, utility vehicles
Powering HVAC
• All vehicle types, for operator and passenger comfort in extreme weather
Performing non-propulsion (PTO) work
• Bucket trucks, sewer-line maintenance trucks, wood chippers
![Page 25: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Most Idling Is Wasteful
Waiting in queue
• Delivery trucks, transit buses and motor coaches, shuttle buses, taxis
Engine warming
• Today’s vehicles warm up faster by being driven than idling
Sitting in vehicle
• During lunch breaks, to complete paperwork, to make phone calls
![Page 26: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Idling Pollutes
Why Care About Idling?
![Page 27: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Idling Pollutes
• Each gallon of fuel burned produces about 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
• Nationally, 27% of greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation.
• Pollution from motor vehicles contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone.
![Page 28: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Idling Threatens Health
• The most significant health impacts of transportation
stem from tailpipe emissions.
• Particulate matter irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and
lungs, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular
illnesses and even premature death.
• Ozone can inflame and damage the airways and
aggravate lung diseases such as
asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

What Can YOU Do?
3 Steps to Idling Reduction
![Page 30: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Step 1: Be AWARE
Reducing idling saves money and
protects the air.
• Turn off vehicles when not moving.
• Set policy to reduce unnecessary idling.
• Identify non-vehicle solutions when possible.
• Consider alternative power sources to
provide necessary services.
![Page 31: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 2: EDUCATE Drivers
Inform your drivers about idling reduction.
• Adopt an idling reduction policy
• Host an idling reduction workshop for drivers
• Post signs to remind drivers NOT to idle
• Ask drivers to make a pledge to idling reduction
• Offer incentives/rewards for idling reduction
efforts
![Page 32: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Step 3: CONSIDER Technology
Options to support your idling reduction
efforts
• Engine idle management systems
• Heaters for cab and/or engine block
• Auxiliary power systems
• Electrified parking spaces
![Page 33: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Speed and Space Management
Techniques
(Proper speed management means operating at
the appropriate speed for road conditions)
![Page 34: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Discussion Topics
- Keep vehicle speed down
- Use cruise control
- Roll under power
- Type and size of load
- Weather
![Page 35: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Conduct Proper Inspections to
Maintain Vehicle
This can go a long way in ensuring your
vehicle’s safe and efficient operation
It’s also required by Law!
![Page 36: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Pre-trip Inspection
Complete a full pre-trip inspection each time you get into the vehicle for a new shift Tire pressure –
Improperly inflated tires can reduce fuel economy
Proper lubrication –Reduces friction and wear
Check braking system
![Page 37: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
En-Route Inspection
Allows drivers to
recheck important
areas of the
vehicle and take
appropriate
maintenance steps
while in a relatively
safe environment
![Page 38: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Another good
reason for
inspections…
![Page 39: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Drive more gently – try progressive shifting
Cut idle time – saves fuel and emissions
Take time to inspect the vehicle properly
Consider your route and driving conditions
Wrap-Up
We need to break some old habits…
![Page 40: WCTC Idle Reduction Presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052622/55951dab1a28abf64a8b4571/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Immediate Results of Eco-Driving
We will be sending less pollutants into
the environment
We will save money on fuel
We will save time on routes
