2. ? What is GRIP? GRIP: noun \ˈgrip\
Governor to Reduce Idle and Pollution
The GRIP was created to manage the time that a vehicle spends running in idle.

3. How does it work?
The GRIP works in conjunction with the vehicles CAN (Controller Area Network)
The GRIP receives real time data on the vehicles functions including engine revolutions, transmission position, outside temperature, ignition positions and coolant temperature
Other data needed for the GRIP is received through sensors added when the system is installed on the vehicle
The controller of the GRIP is a PLC (programmable logic controller) that makes decisions based on the information it receives allowing it to start and stop the engine of the vehicle by simulating the operator changing the key position of the vehicle ignition

4. What does this mean for you?
Fuel Savings
As much as 40% improvement in MPG
CO2 Reduction
As much as 8.9 KG/Gallon of Gasoline
Reduced Operation
1 HR Idle = 33 Miles

5. = SAFE TO STOP/START Is it safe?
Only controls the vehicle when in the following conditions:
Vehicle is in Park or Neutral
We can see the CAN network on the vehicle
The hood is not open
The vehicle is idling
Vehicle speed is less than .6 MPH
= SAFE TO STOP/START

6. 100 Best Fleets #1
How did we help the City of Columbus become #1 of the 100 Best Fleets?
The City of Columbus tested 5 units from different manufacturers:
Havis Idle Right
Extreme Energy
Vanner Idle Watch
Zone Tech
Grip Idle Management
All were tested on single officer vehicles for reliable feedback.

7. 100 Best Fleets #1 The Criteria for a Successful Pilot: Officer safety
Reduce idle time
Allow all emergency equipment to function normally
Climate control
Automatic
Data logging

8. 100 Best Fleets #1
The GRIP Idle Management System beat out the competitors producing the following results in a pilot of 90 vehicles over 6 months:
