Mirenco and TMC Have Joined Forces to Demonstrate New Technology
Mirenco Debuts EconoCruise Technology On TMC Truck
Des Moines, IA - TMC Transportation, located in Des Moines, will assist
Radcliffe-based company Mirenco with a new technology they created called
"EconoCruise" which controls fuel mileage and engine exhaust emissions by
utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS).
A TMC truck will become the first vehicle ever to travel
the interstate freeway on September 15 using a new intelligent cruise control
that utilizes Global Positions. The journey will begin at the U.S. Department of
Energy City Plant at 10:30 a.m. and end up at the Capitol Building in Des Moines
at approximately 1:30 p.m. with state officials and other interested parties
present to take part in this first technological journey.
Unlike a standard cruise control, the EconoCruise system, assisted by GPS, can
recognize and prepare for road grade miles ahead of the vehicle to assist fleets
and private vehicle operations. The GPS will tell the EconoCruise unit where the
vehicle is located on a highway or interstate and the vehicle speed. The unit
will then compare the information to its stored memory and begin feeding optimal
throttle position information to the engine.
TMC, which was created in 1972, is the largest privately held flatbed carrier in
the nation. Mirenco Inc., an Iowa public company is a world leader in vehicle
throttle control.
