VIESA CAB COOLERS “SMARTWAY” LISTED

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated idle reduction technologies and devices to study the effects of idling on air quality, fuel consumption and driver health.

Based on this evaluation and research, EPA has determined that a variety of idle reduction technologies save fuel and reduce emissions when compared to idling the main engine. Viesa Cab Coolers are listed as one of the “Verified Technologies” under the EPA - SmartWay Transport Partnership in the U.S.A.

A typical heavy-duty truck can burn approximately one gallon of diesel fuel for each hour it idles, generating significant amounts of pollution, wasting fuel, and causing excessive engine wear.

In Canada, various anti-idling provisions have been written into municipal by-laws for at least three decades. In recent years, municipalities have passed increasing numbers of idling control by-laws or other by-laws with anti-idling provisions. The stand-alone idling control by-laws have been driven by concerns about air quality, smog and greenhouse gas emissions.

In The United States, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) publishes a compendium of current idling regulations in the United States.
