TVH Americas is offering Phillips & Temro Industries Zerostart engine block heaters.

Cold starts can put additional strain on the battery and increase fuel consumption because the vehicle must idle for longer periods of time before being operated.

Fuel efficiency can plummet for up to 20 minutes following a cold start because the engine requires a higher fuel to air ratio until it reaches optimal operating temperature. Suppliers, like TVH, have Phillips & Temro Zerostart engine block heaters in stock and ready to ship.

• Using an engine block heater to warm the engine, as well as its fluids, makes it easier to start. They will not only reduce overall wear and tear but will also help to reduce emissions while increasing fuel economy.

These are best used in areas where the temperature is around five degrees Fahrenheit or colder. An added bonus of an engine block heater is it will also create a more comfortable environment inside the vehicle by allowing the heater to blow hot air sooner.

Phillips & Temro Industries (PTI) is a company with a rich 100-year history as a global OEM and aftermarket provider of custom engineered thermal and electrical solutions.
