Description (excerpt):
Energy Vision’s new report takes an in-depth look at one critical sector of transportation in the U.S. – the 180,000 refuse trucks that tirelessly traverse the streets of virtually every city and town. These essential workhorse vehicles make a critical contribution to the quality of life in our cities and towns. But today, with concerns over how to improve urban air quality, how to reduce transportation’s climate impacts, and debates over low-and no-carbon vehicle technology, fleet owners/operators are grappling with challenging decisions. This report offers a comprehensive assessment of the many non-petroleum options and the various environmental, economic and performance considerations necessary to make sound infrastructure investments.
