Reducing Idle Time & Fuel Costs with Lithium-Powered Solutions
A Whitepaper from Dragonfly Energy and PACCAR
DOWNLOAD
Heavy-duty fleets face increasing pressure to cut fuel costs, extend engine life, and prepare for upcoming emissions regulations, all while ensuring driver safety and comfort. Engine idling remains one of the largest controllable expenses in trucking, burning fuel, driving up maintenance costs, and shortening asset lifespans.
This whitepaper, developed in collaboration with PACCAR, explores how Dragonfly Energy’s Battle Born® lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) systems provide a proven, cost-effective path to idle reduction and operational efficiency. Drawing from real-world fleet data, PACCAR environmental chamber testing, and case studies, the paper highlights how lithium-powered solutions outperform diesel APUs and AGM systems across performance, reliability, and total cost of ownership.
