What ZeroRPM does

ZeroRPM, Inc. is a Cullman, Alabama-based private company founded in 2012 that designs and manufactures Idle Mitigation Systems (IMS) for commercial fleet vehicles. Its core technology combines Lithium-Iron (LiFeMnPO4) battery modules with CAN bus integration to automatically shut down a vehicle's engine while parked while continuing to deliver full HVAC, electronics power, and electric PTO through the factory vents and outlets. The platform spans energy modules in 12V, 24V, and 48V configurations (100Ah to 1,000Ah), electric A/C units rated 6,000-24,000 BTU, electric coolant heat pumps, a 17,000 BTU fuel-operated heater, optional 100W solar panels, and the Intellimetrics web-based fleet analytics portal. Proprietary features include ZeroKEY (secure keyless engine-off operation), ZeroIDLE (geofenced no-idle zone enforcement), ZeroDRAW (chassis battery protection), Electric PTO, and ClimateGuard (K-9 temperature monitoring).

The company sells primarily through OEM-embedded channels across 17 US manufacturing plants and direct field sales to fleet operators, reaching customers in 47 states. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of complete IMS systems (quote-based, with 2-4 year payback from fuel savings), subscription fees for Intellimetrics telematics and 4G data plans ($240/year), 4G upgrade hardware kits ($1,230), and professional installation services (full-service or guided technician training). Customer verticals include ambulance/EMS, fire services, K-9 law enforcement, electric utilities, telecommunications, dump truck and mining, armored transport, mobile news/broadcast, and general work trucks. ZeroRPM operates within the Mission Critical Electronics portfolio alongside sister brands such as ABC Chargers, Kussmaul, Newmar, and Xantrex.

Core offering

ZeroRPM manufactures Idle Mitigation Systems (IMS) that automatically shut down a vehicle's engine when parked while delivering full HVAC and electrical power through factory vents. The hardware uses Lithium-Iron (LiFeMnPO4) battery technology (100Ah to 1,000Ah, 12V/24V/48V) integrated with the vehicle CAN bus, complemented by electric A/C units, fuel-operated heaters, and the Intellimetrics fleet analytics platform. Systems are sold as standalone units or embedded by OEMs into new vehicles for fleet operators.

Product overview

ZeroRPM offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on Idle Mitigation Systems (IMS) that eliminate unnecessary vehicle idling. The core IMS platform automatically shuts down the engine when parked while providing full HVAC and electrical power through factory vents. The product portfolio includes: Controls (ZeroRPM Screen operator interface, Idle Control Module brain), A/C & Energy products (AC 100.100-24, AC040N24-12K, AC 200-12 IC, AC 00-12-6k, AC 00-24-12k air conditioning units), Energy modules (EM100E12V, EM300E12V, EM400E12V, EM100E24V, EM100E48V, EM 200-12 IC with integrated controller), Heat solutions (Heat Pump electric coolant pump, Fuel-operated Heater 17K BTU), Solar panels (100W monocrystalline), and Intellimetrics fleet analytics platform. Key features include ZeroKEY secure exit, ZeroIDLE no-idle zone compliance, ZeroDRAW chassis battery protection, Electric PTO for hydraulic equipment, and ClimateGuard for K-9 temperature monitoring. The systems use Lithium-Iron (LiFeMnPO4) battery technology with five-year warranties and scale from 100Ah to 1,000Ah energy capacity across various voltage configurations.
