The advantages of Engine-off Technology AMBULANCE <strong>UK</strong> - JUNE A ready-for-duty driver at all times n Extreme cold is exceptionally strenuous and exhausting for vehicle drivers. Engine-Off Heating systems assure a pleasant work climate and maximum comfort, even in the coldest conditions. Environmentally friendly n The automatic Engine-Off Technology benefits the environment too. In a double sense. Thanks to the many engine pauses - and to the fact that only this new technology makes use of environment friendly start-stop systems possible. With a constantly warm engine, restart comes off without a hitch. Diesel particulate filters stay clean longer n When idling, the combustion temperature for efficient operation of the filters is too low. So they soil and wear out much faster. Engine-Off Climate systems prolong the life of particulate filters. Up to 90% less fuel consumption n In comparison with idling, considerably less fuel is consumed when the engine is not running. This can pay off in savings of up to 90%. Less wear-and-tear, less maintenance n Less idling also means less engine wear and tear. Engine running times are reduced and, due to fewer operating hours (up to 60%), less maintenance is required while achieving higher resale value. www.webasto.co.uk AMBULANCE <strong>UK</strong> – AUGUST 94 For further recruitment vacancies visit: www.ambulanceukonline.com 21
