“I’m very pleased with the changes that Ozinga is making which will significantly reduce emissions, not only in the 25th Ward but throughout the city. The ability of more businesses and governments to go green is a major health benefit to our city,” said Alderman Danny Solís, whose ward includes Ozinga’s fueling station and Chicago headquarters. “This is an important first step that will help dictate the city’s energy future.”
Throughout this year, Ozinga has added 30 CNG cement mixers, and intends to replace or convert its entire fleet of mixing trucks by 2020. In addition, it is planning to construct and operate additional fueling stations in Chicago and throughout the Midwest. The company has also leaded the trial of the first natural gas front discharge concrete-mixer truck.
“Building the fueling station and converting our fleet to natural gas reinforces our commitment to the foundation of Chicago’s new energy infrastructure,” said Tim Ozinga, owner of the 84-year-old company. “It satisfies a growing demand for energy that is greener, more affordable, and contributes to America’s energy independence.”
