Vehicle idling is prevalent in most law enforcement fleets across North America. Idling can be as high as 70% in police vehicles, which not only increases the fuel costs but also causes irreversible damage to the environment.
Due to the unique nature of the job many law enforcement vehicles inevitably need to idle in order to power emergency computers, strobe lights, air conditioners and heaters and equally, to avoid draining the OEM/auxiliary battery.
StopIdle enables law enforcement fleet managers to decrease idling in their fleets without compromising performance or safety. StopIdle has built-in automated vehicle monitoring, shutdown and restart controllers that get activated based on the pre-set criteria.
StopIdle monitors several parameters including cabin/outside temperature, OEM/auxiliary battery voltage, emergency equipment usage, and transmission mode before shutting down or automatically restarting a vehicle.
Simple yet smart, StopIdle has been verified to reduce idling anywhere around 25% to 50% (depending on the season and the nature of the fleet). The typical payback period is 12 to 18 months. These figures speak for themselves and are sure to save a monumental sum of money in the long run.
