AESS

Don't idle away your fuel budget. Save it automatically.

The average road locomotive spends 50% of its run-time in idle. That’s a lot of wasted fuel. AESS automatically shuts down an idle diesel engine, while keeping the locomotive in a perfect operating state—ready to start on demand. With features and benefits unmatched by competitors, AESS monitors ambient temperature, battery voltage, brake system air pressures and other parameters to safely stop and restart an idle locomotive.
