“We believe that the use of clean tractor technologies for our cartage operations is the right decision for our customers, the environment, and our company. We are excited to test the benefits of this new technology in our cartage operation,” said Val T. Noel, Pacer Cartage’s president.
Pacer will be testing the LNG trucks’ operational capabilities to determine continued deployment of the vehicles, which are estimated to produce 33 percent less nitrogen oxides and 20 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than diesel-fuelled units.
The LNG truck testing program is a continuation of Pacer’s commitment to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. Pacer is also committed to the SmartWay (SW) Transport Partnership, an alliance between the freight industry and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
