The GRIP (Governor to Reduce Idle and Pollution) Idle Management System is designed to manage the time that the vehicle spends running in idle. Much of this time does not require the engine to run as the batteries can be used to power loads instead of the engine. By reducing the engine operation the GRIP not only saves fuel, excessive wear, extends vehicle life, it is also a benefit to the environment reducing emissions caused by unnecessary engine idle. | |
