In total, five compressed natural gas vans will be deployed in this county by the end of 2010, according to Verizon’s press release, as the company is committed to conserving fuel, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to improved air quality in the communities it serves in the state.
Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino and state Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer joined Verizon officials to unveil the representative vehicles that were on display at the company’s White Plains central office. “By deploying a fleet of environmentally friendly vehicles, Verizon has shown how innovation and conservation can work together,” said Astorino.
It is worth mentioning that a week ago the company announced the CNG conversion of 300 Ford E-250 cargo vans of its Southern Californian fleet, after signing an agreement with Riverside County-base Steelweld Equipment Co.
