$1 million awarded to 53 motor carriers to help fund diesel truck idling reduction technologies

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The Department of Administration’s State Energy Office has announced it is awarding nearly $1 million to 53 Wisconsin motor carriers to help fund diesel truck idling reduction technologies.

Diesel truck idling reduction equipment provides an alternative source of power to heat, cool, or provide electricity to the cab and parts of the truck instead of operating the truck’s main drive engine equipment.  Each unit typically saves more than 900 gallons of fuel each year, as well as providing a significant reduction in diesel fuel pollutants.

In order to be eligible to participate in the Diesel Truck Idling Reduction Grant Program, the trucking company must be headquartered in Wisconsin.

The State Energy Office provides grants annually to reimburse freight motor carriers up to 50% of their cost to purchase and install idling reduction units on their truck-tractor sleeper cab vehicles purchased after 1999.  Typical idling reduction devices include auxiliary power units, battery-powered units, diesel-fired heaters, and energy recovery systems which reduce pollutants, including nitrogen oxide and particulate matter.

Since the program’s inception in 2007, the State Energy Office has funded the purchase of 2,418 idling reduction units, which eliminates the combustion of nearly 22,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
