The Challenge
ACETECH™ continuously monitors the Middlesex-London Paramedic Service Fleet and identified exceptionally high idling times.
This fuel consuming activity needed to be resolved to prevent unnecessary costs and to create an eco-friendly fleet.
The Solution
ACETECH™ recommended installing a Sustainability Intelligence Solution that reduces engine idling called ACETECH™ ECO-RUN.
This system automatically manages engine idling. It monitors the battery levels and temperatures of the driver and patient compartment and when the conditions are correct, the system will automatically shut off the engine, therefore reducing unnecessary idling.
The engine automatically restarts if it drops below optimum conditions, so the vehicle is always ready to go.
The Results
ACETECH installed the ECO-RUN Solution in a fleet of over 60 vehicles for Middlesex-London Paramedic Service. Analysis below has shown improvements for the full fleet per annum:
- Engine Idling (-76%)
- Fuel Savings (-89,284L)
- Vehicle Off Road (-12%)
- Cost Savings ($124,069 )
- Carbon Savings (423,469lbs)
- i.e. per vehicle ($1,932)(6,040lbs)
