USA, Los Angeles
LA World Airports (LAWA) board members have approved the purchase of 30
alternative-fuel buses and trucks, most of which will operate on
compressed natural gas (CNG) for use at Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). The purchase is part of LAWA’s ongoing commitment to
replace existing gasoline-powered vehicles in the airport's fleet with
alternative-fuel vehicles when they reach the end of their useful
service life.
The Board approved the purchase of 21 compressed natural-gas transit
buses; three liquefied-petroleum-gas (LPG), light- and medium-duty
refuse trucks; and six LPG stakebed trucks. The 21 CNG buses will be
purchased for $7,885,648 from North American Bus Industries, Inc.
LAWA currently has more than 500 alternative-fuel vehicles in its fleet
powered by liquefied natural gas, compressed natural gas, liquefied
petroleum gas, electric, solar power and hydrogen fuel cell.
