TARGETING ENERGY SAVINGS: gates develops truck idle reduction package, accessory drive systems

摘要

Gates Corp. has introduced the CabRunner Integrated Power System as part of its new Energy Saving product lineup. Other Energy Saving products include the Gates E3 Drive and Electro-Mechanical Drive. The CabRunner IPS for heavy-duty, over-the-road trucks, is essentially an auxiliary power unit designed to power all the truck's accessories when the truck's diesel engine is not running. Fuel use and emissions are significantly reduced by eliminating the need to idle the vehicle engine to power air conditioning, heating, lighting and hotel loads during drivers' downtime.
