Five years ago, a new company emerged in Cullman with a unique technological system to power a vehicle without activating the engine. Next month, the company — Zero RPM — will be one of three in the state to receive an Economic Development Partnership of Alabama Innovation Awards. The awards celebration will take place Aug. 23 at the Alabama Theater in Birmingham. “That was truly a community effort, when Zero RPM needed a place to get started and was welcome at Wallace State Community College,” said Dale Greer, director of the Cullman Economic Development Agency. “This a great honor recognizing the innovation and importance of the work they do. Only a few companies in the entire state are recognized.”   At the time Zero RPM was getting started at Wallace State, the operation became part of a statewide announcement and drew former Gov. Robert Bentley and other state officials to the campus...

    Alabama Power employee Kevin Sanderson is pictured next to a company vehicle. With this new technology, Alabama Power becomes the first electric utility in the nation to use this feature which will simultaneously reduce engine emissions and fuel usage on bucket trucks and customer service vehicles. Fleet owners are revved up over a Cullman company’s technology that makes it cleaner and cheaper when trucks operate in idle mode. Alabama Power  is the first electric utility in the nation to roll out a new technology on bucket trucks and customer service vehicles that simultaneously reduce engine emissions and fuel usage. The new technology is manufactured by  Zero RPM  in Cullman. Alabama Power has installed the  Zero RPM  system that electrifies a truck’s functions – saving hours of unnecessary idle time each day.  The system works by automatically shutting off the engine when the truck is parked.  This idle mitigation system...

Pop quiz: Which uses more fuel and produces more emissions – letting a passenger car idle for 15 seconds or turning off a car and restarting it after 15 seconds? If you answered that restarting the car uses more fuel, you would not be alone. Most people believe that starting is the less efficient option. But that’s not the case, according to research conducted by Argonne National Laboratory. Results of their experiment revealed that just 10 seconds of passenger car idling time actually uses more fuel than stopping and restarting the engine. All of the fuel used during engine idling adds up to a real bottom-line impact. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that Americans waste about 6 billion gallons of gas every year. How many of those gallons are a result of vehicles in your fleet needlessly idling, and how much is it impacting your fuel expense costs? The good...
