Immediate Air Quality Improvements
Because a $10 window adapter is the only retrofit required for virtually any long-haul truck on the road to use it, the IdleAir system makes immediate, quantifiable improvements in an individual community’s air quality. In contrast, all other idling alternatives require thousands of dollars in retrofits to each individual truck that might choose to use the travel center (or other local parking location) at any given time.
