“We take environmental responsibility very seriously, and we are very proud of all our green initiatives,” said Robert Gordon, fleet service superintendent, DeKalb County fleet management division. “That’s why, when we decided to take the next step and green our fleet, we turned to Freightliner Trucks.”
The 24 Freightliner Business Class® M2 112 compressed natural gas trucks, expected to be delivered in late 2011, are powered by the Cummins Westport ISL G 8.9 liter natural gas engine, one of the most economical and dependable engines on the road, which not only saves significantly on fuel costs, but is less harmful to the environment, with near-zero emissions.
“We worked closely with Peach State (Georgia’s Freightliner dealer) and a team of engineers to pre-build our trucks –down to placing every single nut and bolt– so we know exactly what we’ll get before the first truck rolls off the line,” said Gordon. “We’re expecting a high-quality product, and with Freightliner Trucks, we know we will be ready to go.”
