Pierce’s Idle Reduction Technology. Innovation That Never Sits Idle.

Pierce’s proprietary Idle Reduction Technology shuts down the main chassis diesel engine and uses lithium-ion batteries to power NFPA-required devices, mission-critical on-scene operations, and HVAC climate controls. Help manage your vehicle’s carbon footprint without interrupting the mission-critical functionality you depend on with Pierce® Idle Reduction Technology. Available on new apparatus and as an aftermarket solution.

Perform on and off the scene, in open and closed spaces, with less wear on firefighters and the truck. Pierce® Idle Reduction Technology pairs automatic diesel engine controls with high-performance lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries.

Power NFPA 1901 required devices, user-defined mission critical on-scene loads, and HVAC climate control with the main chassis engine shut down for one hour of run time at 150 amps. Featuring built-in safety interlocks and Pierce Command Zone™ auto-start for battery power monitoring and engine re-start, departments can work more safely and efficiently without a second thought.

Pierce Idle Reduction Technology is an option on new apparatus and as an aftermarket solution.
