NEW! SmartStart IIe® now includes Emissions Report

SmartStart has been helping reduce the impact on the environment for over 20 years, and now the locomotive auto start system SmartStart IIe NEW Emissions Report provides documentation and verification. SmartStart IIe will continue to record actual savings (millions of gallons/liters of fuel) while its working—usually pays for itself in less than 12 months. The SmartStart IIe is also compatible with the new ZTR Virtual Technician diagnostic software.



Trust the Industry Standard in Locomotive Automatic Engine Start/Stop (AESS) Idle Reduction:
  • SmartStart saves North American railroads 1.5 million gallons of fuel every month!
  • Performance of our automatic engine stop/start system is unmatched.
  • ROI in less than 12 months with fuel costs savings alone!

Add the SmartStart® SAVER™ Option* to receive detailed fleet reports

Adding this option allows you to receive fleet AESS performance reports, alerts, and the location of your SAVER-equipped locomotives.




Cold Weather Combination

Railroads with locomotives in colder climates may be interested in an integrated SmartStart-DDHS (Diesel Driven Heating System by HOTSTART) solution. The AESS restarts the DDHS instead of the locomotive in certain colder ambient conditions, thereby saving additional fuel.

Available in North America; for other regions consult ZTR
