NTT Group Retrofitting Fleet Vehicles with Stop-Start Device
12 November 2009
The Nikkei reports that NTT Group companies have begun retrofitting their service vehicles with a stop-start device.
NTT will install the idling-stop devices in around 800 of its group firms’ vehicles by the end of the current fiscal year ending in March. It will also place the mechanism in more than 20,000 of the non-hybrid vehicles used by NTT group firms.
The company has begun installation of the device in cooperation with Nippon Car Solutions Co. [an NTT Group company], which leases commercial vehicles to NTT group firms, a process which costs 70,000-80,000 yen per vehicle. The initial cost will be borne by Nippon Car Solutions, which will recoup the expense through lease fees it charges each group firm.
Trials of the device in Tokyo indicated an improvement in mileage of between 10-25%.
