Update on SDEV’s EPA Clean Diesel Grant
We are almost 1 year into SDEV’s EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant project so we wanted to give an update on our progress.
SDEV and our nonprofit partners, NextEnergy and GLACC, have successfully completed 18 out of 32 truck and bus replacements. Here are some of our accomplishments so far!
Two of Alco Transportation’s new trucks for the EPA-DERA Program (with employee Christopher Burcham). Two older Alco trucks were permanently disabled and replaced with these 2013 models. Replacing these two older trucks reduces diesel emissions by over 2 tons/year. Alco will replace a total of 11 trucks through this grant project.
New street sweeper for National Industrial Maintenance, which replaced an old 1993 sweeper through the EPA-DERA grant. They used this new truck to sweep the streets around Ideal before the GM Supplier of the Year event on July 12th. Replacing the old sweeper will reduce 3 tons of diesel emissions.
Three of the nine new 2013 dump trucks purchased by DWSD through the EPA-DERA grant. These trucks replaced dump trucks that were more than 12 years old. Replacing the nine trucks reduces diesel emissions by 1.23 tons annually.
One of the two new trucks Ferrous Processing & Trading bought to replace two older models. Replacing these two trucks reduces diesel emissions by 2.23 TONS annually!
