Why Avoiding Engine Idle is So Important
During a typical mine haulage cycle, trucks experience multiple events of delay, queuing, waiting etc. During these periods of delay the truck is stationary and the engine sits at idle. This idle time can range from 5-35% of total engine hours. The engines main function during these periods of idle is to maintain in-cab climate control for the operator driving a small belt driver air conditioning compressor. For a 2,000+HP engine, this is a hugely unproductive task.
Remote Energy Anti-idle systems resolve this mismatch by providing an onboard energy source that is sized correctly for the task, keeping the critical systems primed while the machine is sitting idle, allowing the main engine to shut down. While the benefits may seem obvious, the flow on effects of idle avoidance are far reaching across your operations.

The Eco-Drive DC-X allows main engine shut down for extended periods, providing sufficient energy provision for continuous operation of its DC air conditioning system and other critical loads.
|
The Lithium powered iON-Drive is a 24V air conditioning and/or heating system designed to maintain operator comfort in hot or cold climates, offering a 100% diesel off set when the main engine is turned off.

ECO Drive DC-xR
The Eco-Drive DC-xR offers a different air conditioning option, with a roof top mount version, and still allows main engine shut down for extended periods, providing sufficient energy provision for continuous operation of its DC air conditioning system and other critical loads.

iON Drive - DC-ixR
The DC-ixR offers a completely independent roof top mount lithium powered 24V air conditioning system designed to maintain operator comfort in hot or cold climates, offering a 100% diesel off set when the main engine is turned off.
