Air Force introduces new "green" fire trucks

Idle reduction technology will be available on more than 100 new Air Force water tankers, structural pumpers and rescue trucks delivered over the next two years. IRT is a feature that automatically transitions the truck from the 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 main engine. (U.S. Air Force photo/Eddie Green)
