Reduction in Pollution


The reduction in air pollution from vehicles equipped with a good fleet management device can be dramatic. Accumulated air pollutants are so heavy that they are typically measured in tons instead of pounds. A vehicle not in compliance with EPA emissions levels will conservatively have a combined increase over normal levels of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons like me thane (CH4), and nitrous oxides (NOx) in excess of one pound for every gallon of fuel consumed. CO and CH4 are both greenhouse gasses, and NOx reacts in sunlight to create ground -level ozone. Make sure that you invest in a fleet management system that can tell you when you have a problem with your vehicle.

Re: Reduction in Pollution


There are probably other more expensive and technologically advanced options you could consider to increase fuel mileage and reduce pollution, but probably none can deliver the measurable reduction in fossil fuel emissions, and recurring fuel budget cost reductions that an inexpensive PurigeN98 Nitrogen program will. Studies show that Nitrogen tire inflation keeps tires inflated properly for a much longer period than air. This can save a fleet 3% - 6% in fuel costs, and increase tire life by 20%-25%. For additional information you can call (847) 651-3099 http://www.purigen98.com
