Partnership Between Energy Xtreme and Espar Heater Systems Allows Vehicle Electrical Systems and Heaters to Operate Without Use of Engine

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Xtreme and Espar Heater Systems have partnered on a one-of-a-kind idle-reduction system that can operate both electrical and heating equipment in vehicles.

“This partnership combines two very important technologies”

The unique system combines Energy Xtreme’s idle-reduction technology with an Espar heater to efficiently power a vehicle’s entire electrical load and heating unit without the need to engage the vehicle’s engine. The system can also provide remote power for tools and other equipment.

“This partnership combines two very important technologies,” said Ross Johnson, Energy Xtreme’s business development director. “Because all of these systems will be operating independently of the vehicle engine, emissions and fuel usage can be greatly reduced.”

The system will also have the capability to pre-heat a vehicle’s engine, and will be compatible with a wide range of vehicles including trucks, buses and automobiles.

“Espar Heater Systems has over 39 years of North American experience in the auxiliary fuel operated heater business. We are fully aware that power supplies to mobile applications have a crucial impact on emission reduction,” Espar President Volker Hohensee said. “Energy Xtreme’s new development is filling that gap and will provide the missing link to make anti-idling technologies such as the Espar Heaters more successful.”
