Solid waste trucks: the Clean Energy solution |
|
 |
Solid waste fleets represent one of the major markets that is benefiting significantly as the country shifts increasingly away from expensive imported oil. CNG costs up to $1.50 per gallon equivalent less than diesel fuel, and projections call for this favorable cost trend to extend well into the future. This translates to annual fuel cost savings (natural gas vs. diesel) of up to $15,000 per truck. Some fleets are tracking efficiency in terms of operating cost and finding hourly operating cost reductions of as much as $10 per hour.
And there's no sacrifice in terms of truck operating performance, since natural gas trucks easily match the horsepower and torque of diesel models. Waste haulers have a wide range of CNG truck makes and models to choose from today, any of which can be configured as
roll-offs, front, side, or rear loaders (depending on operator requirements.)
Clean Energy reliably fuels thousands of natural
gas solid waste trucks every day across America, and the numbers
are steadily growing.
Clean Energy's proven solid waste fleet solution includes:
• Comprehensive natural gas fueling supply services
• Long-term fuel contracts and discounted fueling options
• Fleet fuel station design, construction and ongoing operations
• Assistance with securing grant funding, vehicle leasing, and
financial incentives
