TRANSPORTATION

The Opportunity: Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Miles Traveled(average per year)

Fuel Economy(average mpg)

Fuel Consumed(average gallons per year)

Heavy-Duty Vehicles Vans, Pickups & SUVs Passenger Cars

Making a Difference

Converting just one heavy-duty waste truckfrom diesel to natural gas …

… offers the emissions reduction equivalent of taking 325 cars off the road.
