$$$ Fuel Maintenance:

Non-Operational IDLE-Time

OPEX – FUEL SAVINGS Typically, every 100 vehicles can save as much as $100K annually from non-operational IDLE-Time. Fuel penalty = 2.5 – 4.5 litres per / hour. Have your GPS provider run a report to identify potential savings. 

OPEX – MAINTENANCE SAVINGS SEE the CUMMINS reports. •  Fuel economy penalty = 2.5 – 4.5 litres per/hour. •  IDLE: most inefficient mode – emissions. •  Fuel contamination of lube oil is high at IDLE. •  Cylinder wall wear is accelerated by “wash down”. •  Short term idling actually “over cools” the engine. •  Engine life can be reduced by up to 20%. •  500 hrs of idling = 64,000 miles of wear. •  Noise emissions.

OPEX – MAINTENANCE SAVINGS SEE the FORD Power Stroke Diesel report.

HIGH IDLE-Time Impact 6 hours of IDLE-Time per day = 15,000 simulated miles. Conclusion: after 100 days the engine oil actually has 20,000 miles of wear. If the scheduled maintenance were based on engine hours instead of miles driven, oil changes would be required approximately every 30 days.

SAFETY / RISK If fleet vehicles are left IDLING unattended, what is the risk of • vehicle theft • vehicle damage   What could the risk be financially of an IDLING vehicle involved in an accident?  What could the risk be to the company’s safety reputation, record? 

RETENTION / RECRUITMENT How competitive is the employee retention / recruitment market in your industry?  For younger employees / recruits, how important is corporate responsibility / sustainability? How is it affecting their career / employer decisions? 

RETENTION / RECRUITMENT

CONE CSR Millennial Study

Millennials Most Sustainability Conscious

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY  How is the company positioning itself as a leader on sustainability?  What is the risk to the company’s sustainability aspirations, reputation from excessive non-operational IDLE-Time?  What could be the public relations value of saving tons of emissions from excessive IDLE-Time while helping improve air quality? 

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY  What are your supply-chain customers expectations in the area of sustainability? How valuable could a pro-active IDLE-FREE ‘Peer Leadership’ position be?   As climate change and the 'green economy' accelerate, what is the risk of keeping the status quo on excessive IDLE-Time? 

COMPETITIVENESS  Governments / large corporations now commonly have aggressive emissions reduction targets in place to address climate change and air quality. Leading companies in the private sector are leaders in maximizing operational efficiencies.  If others are moving to cut OPEX and emissions from excessive non-operational IDLE-Time, what impact could this have RE your competitiveness on: •  Bidding for government / large corporate contracts  •  Operational efficiencies
