Fleet reality check * USA - Go green—not bananas
St. Louis,MO,USA -Fleet Owner, by David Cullen -Mar 10, 2010: -- The 4th annual Green Truck Summit announced that NTEA is forming a new affiliate division to be called the Green Truck Assn. (GTA). NTEA president Andrew Outcalt said GTA will “keep members up to date with regulatory and industry developments while expanding and improving the market for green-truck applications”... The win-win pitch on going green was delivered by Ken McKenney, sustainable fleet—technical engineering lead for Verizon Communications. According to McKenney, implementing a successful and lasting “sustainable” (green) fleet program requires everything from top-level corporate support down to real-world evaluation of available technologies... He gave several examples of how this approach would pan out including this one: A fleet that replaces 10% of its annual vehicles to be replaced with green vehicles might see its purchasing budget rise 5% to cover the added cost of the new technology. But it would reduce its carbon footprint by 3% in one fell swoop—and would likely reduce its overall fuel consumption as well...Labels: green fleets trucks
