Dean Kattler, vice president for Waste Management- British Columbia and Pacific Northwest, said: “Transitioning to clean air trucks to serve Lower Mainland communities and businesses shows we are listening to our customers and championing BC’s bid to sustain its position as a world-class sustainability leader.”
The contribution from Terasen Gas helped offset the incremental cost of the clean air trucks. This firm, which will soon operate under the brand name FortisBC, just completed construction of a state-of-the art CNG fuelling station at the Waste Management site at Coquitlam, where the new trucks will be served.
The new fleet will be used to collect commercial recycling, food waste and garbage throughout Vancouver and surrounding communities, and will deliver distinct environmental benefits, including nearly zero air particulate, 23 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and less noise due to quieter engines.
