Air Force introduces new "green" fire trucks

An idle reduction technology control panel inside the cab of an Air Force fire truck gives the vehicle’s driver/operator information about IRT system performance. IRT is a feature that automatically transitions the truck from the main engine to an on-board auxiliary power unit, or generator, after the truck has been idling for two minutes. This helps reduce fuel use, carbon emissions, and wear and tear on the vehicle’s engine all while powering essential components like lights, communication and environmental controls.
