"During idle, a modern diesel doesn’t combust fuel as efficiently, which over time can be detrimental to component life."
"Inefficiencies due to truck idling are a significant source of inefficiency that has plagued the industry for years…Many case studies in industry have demonstrated that it is possible to significantly save on energy consumption with proven policies to turn off engines during such periods…And these initiatives recognize the impact of operators on a mine's energy efficiency."
"I really liked having a quiet lunch! It was 25 ºF and the Primo IAS kept me warm."
  • Extend engine life hour for hour with idle avoided
  • Reduce unnecessary fuel consumption
  • Reduce powertrain maintenance cost by cutting engine run time
