Many vehicle manufacturers are embracing start / stop systems in order to help cut fossil fuel emissions. There are however, still billions of cars on the road without start / stop functions and billions of industrial vehicles such as excavators, tractors and dumper trucks that still operate throughout the world. With this sign you can promote awareness and remind employees / viewers to switch off their engines whenever they can, this in turn will reduce pollution helping to restore the delicate balance of our environment.

This sign remind drivers to switch off vehicle engines whenever they are not moving. Idling engines waste fuel, increase greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to air pollution, and can be costly for businesses and individuals. This sign encourages environmentally responsible driving habits and helps reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

These signs are particularly important in warehouse loading areas, delivery bays, construction sites, parking lots, company car parks, and fleet operation zones where vehicles may frequently stop for loading, unloading, or waiting. Placing the sign near entrances, loading bays, or areas where vehicles often idle ensures drivers are reminded to turn off their engines whenever possible.

In addition to supporting environmental sustainability, the sign helps organisations comply with green initiatives, corporate social responsibility policies, and local idling regulations. It also reduces fuel costs, improves air quality in and around the workplace, and promotes a culture of eco-conscious behaviour among drivers and staff.

For maximum effectiveness, the sign should be mounted at eye level near loading bays, parking areas, or vehicle waiting zones, using bold text and clear green-themed visuals. This ensures visibility and reinforces the importance of turning off engines to protect the environment and conserve resources.
