Now serving Seattle neighborhoods and businesses, the cleanest fleet in the City’s history includes 91 vehicles powered by renewable natural gas (RNG) and supplied by ABC member Waste Management. The launch of Seattle’s new green fleet of recycling, compost and garbage trucks is underway, further advancing the City’s steady commitment to clean air and world-class sustainability leadership. Now serving Seattle neighborhoods and businesses, the cleanest fleet in the City’s history includes 101 Waste Management vehicles powered by either renewable natural gas – gas from garbage – or by electricity. The new Waste Management fleet includes:
Ninety-one collection trucks equipped with the new Cummins Westport ISL G Near Zero engine and powered by renewable natural gas (RNG). The heavy-duty engine is the cleanest ever certified by the California Air Resources Board and the Environmental Protection Agency. RNG is better for the environment because it is not a fossil fuel and it generates dramatically lower emissions – 70% lower than traditional diesel and 65% lower than compressed natural gas. More >>
