Introducing our audience to eNow

We love sharing good news and information on companies making a difference.

My company, Arpin Group, used our renewable energy company to start the process of innovating solar systems for transportation companies that would, through solar panels on the roof tops and battery systems in the truck, reduce idling and wear and tear on trucks, thereby saving the truck owners money and saving our air mountains of dirty carbon.

That work was so successfully, as tested across our own trucks, that we merged our efforts with an innovator named Jeff Flath who had helped Cooley Group install the first solar outdoor billboard in Times Square NY.

Together, we formed a new company, eNow, and that company has taken the technology to a very broad group of companies, and government agencies, who are helping us finish our testing and bring these products--products that will change the world--to market.

Here's a look, and link, to the eNow site.  We hope you visit them often, and we'd love to hear your comments on the products and their potential impact on the market place.  These products, by the way, will be available across the globe:

It was great to exhibit at the 9th Annual AltWheels Fleet Day this past Monday.

How long has solar power been around and does it work?

This question seems to be on the minds of everyone that we meet so we thought we would provide you with some key facts.

Diesel APU’s – taking a drink of water from a fire hose

Diesel APU’s have a fundamental problem in handling small electrical loads.  They need to be turned on to satisfy even the smallest electrical demand.

Can Solar Panels on vehicles be used to Power Homes & Businesses?

Next time you drive by a school or drive by a warehouse filled with parked trucks, imagine if each of these vehicles had solar panels installed on the roof.

Truck Company and Drivers Track Idle Time and Look For Improvement

As I introduce eNow to many trucking companies, I come across the same tracking metrics, truck idle per month costs.

Trucks Joining Green Race

From the rack of over 30 sample magazines the cover of one jumped out at me. It showed what at first glance appeared to be two menacing tractor trailers bearing down on a bicyclist.

Should we develop alternatives to curtail the use of oil and gas?

Oil and gas has continually increased to the point where we are environmentally threatened and dependent upon foreign producers.

How Truck Emissions Can Ruin a Relaxing Getaway

We decided to take a drive for breakfast. Our plan was to have a relaxing morning and enjoy a delicious meal. Off we went. First stop the gas station, my have prices gone up, still I thought, not as bad as that diesel price, though.

DYK—Interesting Facts on Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Your carbon foot print is the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support your activitites.  It is usually expressed in equivalent metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Read on for other interesting facts from Carbonfund.org.

EPA Gets Approval to Mandate Greenhouse Gas Emissions

I recently read an article, at Carbonfund.org about the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) winning an appeal in the federal appeals court in the District of Columbia.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Cost of Regulations - Idle or Not to Idle?

Have you ever noticed the amount of trucks there are on the road today?  What about the rest areas?  What choices do they have when they are obligated to rest?  Read more about savings, gas emissions and the driver.

What are Gas Emissions doing to our air, health and planet?

Have you ever driven by a truck and thought “what is all that smoke doing to the air and environment”?  With all the news on renewable energy, how can we sit back and watch and not be aware of how this affects our health, economy and planet?
