Liquefied Natural Gas trucks * USA - Ports Take LNG View
With clean-trucks plan under way, next step could put thousands of liquefied natural gas trucks on roads
Los Angeles/Long Beach,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Magazine, by BILL MONGELLUZZO -Apr 20, 2009: -- Harbor truckers in Southern California are proving resilient, purchasing more than 3,500 clean-diesel vehicles since the Los Angeles-Long Beach clean-trucks programs were launched last October. The motor carriers now are being asked to do still more by investing in costly trucks powered by liquefied natural gas... Motor carriers by Jan. 1, 2010, must replace about 8,000 aging trucks with new vehicles that meet the ports’ 2007 model-year standards... According to the ports, and the local clean-air agency, clean-diesel fuel is good, but LNG contains fewer toxic pollutants and therefore presents less of a health risk to the local population...
