How Much Does It Cost To Be Idle?

Have you ever wondered how much it costs for your equipment to be idle? Utility vehicles idle in park for 65% of their total engine hours, and an hour of engine idle is equivalent to 25 miles of driving. Altec’s Jobsite Energy Management System (JEMS) is the result of partnering with key customers to develop a sustainable solution to prevent idle time and reduce operating costs while positively affecting the environment.

JEMS is available on nearly any Altec product and offers the following benefits:

• Decreases engine idle time
• Reduces maintenance costs
• Creates a quieter work environment
• Allows operators to maintain cab temperature with the engine off
• Decreases vehicle fumes at the jobsite
• Reports on vehicle emissions, fuel savings and battery health
