Idle Smart: APU Rebate Program for Tennessee Truckers
$1.73M in Funds Given on First-Come, First-Served Basis
ClimaCab, the electric APU that helps drivers attain 3% idle times, thought you would like to know how to get 50% off an APU.
Idle Smart is a new state program offered by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to help small trucking companies and independent owner-operators reduce engine idling, save money and reduce air pollution.
APU rebates, up to a maximum of $4,000 per truck, are available to Tennessee common, contract and private motor carriers with 30 or fewer trucks. Priority will be given to fleets with 5 or fewer trucks. Eligible truck owners may receive up to 50% of the cost of purchasing and installing qualified APUs on their sleeper berth trucks.
Eligible applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis while rebate funds last. The $1.73 million in funding must be spent by September 2010. Funding recipients will be required to report data at a regular frequency, which will allow the state to calculate actual fuel savings and actual emissions reductions for each truck.
