Idling trucks burn 5% of all heavy fuel for trucks in the US
Previous work estimated annual impacts
– Baseline was 458,000 long-haul trucks idling overnight
– Emission of 140,000 t NOx, 2400 t CO, and 7.6 million t CO2
– Use of over 800 million gallons diesel fuel (5% of all heavy truck fuel)
• Value over $2 billion
– Noise
– Engine wear and increased maintenance costs
