SOUTHERN California Gas Co (SoCalGas) and Food Express Inc (FXI) have announced the addition of 11 new ultra-low emission natural gas trucks to the FXI fleet, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
FXI , with the assistance of SoCalGas, applied for and received US$1.1 million in grant funding for the new trucks that have started making deliveries.
The company has an additional 35 trucks on order. Funding was received from the Prop 1B programme administered by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Programme (HVIP).
The purchase of 46 new trucks represents about 50 per cent of FXI's California fleet. The company is on the waiting list for an additional $900,000 in Prop 1B grants from the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, which would be used to purchase another nine trucks.
Replacing 55 diesel trucks with new ultra-low emission natural gas trucks is the equivalent of taking more than 3,100 passenger cars off the road.
