 And, considering a truck idling at 850 to 1100 rpm uses buildafirepit and buildafirepit 0.8 to 1.2 gph, while Cat''s new APU is targeted to achieve 0.2 gph, the reduction in fuel used is an obvious benefit for the trucking business. The DOE indicates that the average heavy-duty truck idles 1800 buildafirepit hours per year, thus the fuel savings could be 1000 to 1800 gal. per year."One of the unique features about the Cat-designed APU is that we leverage the power converter technology already onboard as part of the MorElectric system," said Orr. "We operate the APU at high speed for the limited times where a high level of electrical power is needed, while the majority of the time it automatically shifts to a slow speed to maximize life, and buildafirepit reduce fuel, emissions, and noise." To counter declining profits, Air Products will implement a global cost reduction plan to reduce capacity and costs. "First, we have shut down or will divest several underutilized facilities within our gases and chemicals segments," says chairman and CEO John P. Jones. "Second, we are implementing cost reductions to improve productivity, including balancing engineering resources with project activity. And third, we are reducing the number of management positions in the company to streamline our structure. Collectively, these actions will result in the elimination of 461 positions worldwide." The program is aimed at saving $38 million in fiscal 2004.As part of the buildafirepit restructuring, Air Products will shut down two liquid oxygen/liquid nitrogen plants at undisclosed locations. The company is also actively seeking a buyer for its $65 million to $70 million European methylamines business and is setting up its US methylamines business for divesture, having already closed its methanol and ammonia plant in Pensacola, Fla., notes Bane of America Securities analyst Mark Gulley.
