Methodology & sources

Built with data from
Argonne & the US DOE.

Fuel savings

An empty semi-truck can consume 0.64 gph idling, and with a load up to 1.38 gph. Across the US that’s 1 billion gallons wasted annually, costing $3.8 billion. Our ROI calc uses the average 0.98 gph for new trucks with no engine issues.

Maintenance costs

Idling strips oil away from pistons and cylinders, causing premature wear. Every hour of idling is like adding “idling miles” — oil-change intervals shorten, air filters clog faster and DPF cleaning cycles tighten.

Depreciation

Average new truck: $139,000. Owner-operators retire trucks at 1,000,000 mi; fleets at 350,000 mi. Dealerships factor idling hours into pricing — eliminate idling and preserve resale value.
