1) Installing an inverter system in trucks allows drivers to power electronics and appliances without idling the engine, saving on fuel costs and reducing emissions. 2) Idling engines is inefficient and wastes fuel, but drivers idle to power devices; inverters eliminate this need. 3) The document provides an example payback calculation for a fleet of 5 trucks, estimating a cost savings of over $112,000 over 3 years by eliminating idling with inverters.

2. Add a Inverter and SAVE $$$$
• The tough economic times on the trucking industry needs some help
saving Idle Fuel costs and compliance to the new Anti-Idle Laws. Fleet and
operations managers are under extreme pressure to maintain profitability
in the wake of escalating fuel prices and comfort for their drivers since the
implementation of Anti-Idling Regulations and Laws
http://www.epa.gov/reg3artd/diesel/anti_idling_regs.htm.
• With fuel expected to go up in the future with depleting fossil fuel stocks
all truck services need to change their equipment options either by OEM
or retrofit. Fuel costs constitute a significant portion of a fleet’s overall
operating cost so it is extremely important to operate trucks at optimal
fuel efficiency.
• Engine idling is inefficient, pollutes air, affects engine life and performance
and reduces the fuel efficiency. Drivers idle engines to operate essential
electronics and appliances while at rest stops, or while loading or
unloading trucks. Engine idling problem is even more prominent with long
haul drivers who are faced with uncertain weather and road conditions.
Fleet managers also have to worry about complying with the stringent EPA
norms on emissions as mentioned above.

4. • Adding a Hotware inverter
• Auto-Transfer/ Inverter /Charger System to your fleet
allows hotel comforts without idling ( saving fuel and
Anti-idle tickets) , transferring these loads to Truck Stop
power when available and using this incoming power
to charge batteries. This helps to reduce both fuel
consumption and engine wear extending the life 30%.
Hotware manufactures many models of highly efficient
power inverters and Auto-transfer /inverter/charger
combination units that can also be used in conjunction
with an APU (Auxiliary Power Unit)
Generator if already installed .

5. Hotware Saving $ Solution
• By installing Hotware SP3000C or SP5000C for
example .The Auto-transfer/ Inverter/ Charger
as a aftermarket option with your dealer. A
sample calculation “ ROI “ will estimate your
savings over a truck or fleet’s service life. Fleet
managers can make some rewards in the form
of enhanced fuel economy, reduced emissions
and increased bottom $$$ in the long run for a
small initial investment!

6. ROI Sample Calculations
• Cost of Diesel Fuel $4.00 USD / Gallon
• Idle consumption on a Class 8 truck 0.8
• ($ x gallons/hr) = $3.2
• Idle per day hours 8 , 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year =2496
• $3.2 x 2496 = $7987.20 USD per year idle costs
• If the truck is used 3 years (3x7987.20) = $23961.60 Idle Cost
• And if your fleet has 5 trucks (5 x23961.60) =$119,808.00USD
in just 3 years gone up in SMOKE !
• If you consider a SP3000C20A auto transfer/Inverter/Charger
MSRP is $499 and estimate total installed price is $1500 USD
• Pay back time in Months 2.3
• Total savings in trucks life $22,461.60
• Total Fleet savings $112,308.00 for 5 class 8 trucks
