An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Motor Vehicles And Weights Limits. [SB-133]
The purpose of these idle reduction technology units is to prevent having to run the engine at idle speed when the temperature is below 40 degrees or above 75 degrees Fahrenheit when the driver is off duty and has to stay in the truck and he or she does not have to run the truck engine. It will save on fuel costs to the owner and help the environment with less pollution and still keep the driver comfortable without running the engine over the legal time. This Bill allows a 400 pound weight limit exemption for trucks that have auxiliary engines.
