Discusses the two main technologies (auxiliary power units and truck stop electrification), idle reduction benefits (such as reduced diesel fuel consumption), and laws and regulations. Includes links to equipment manufacturers and a truck stop electrification station locator. From the U.S. Department of Energy.
