Chevrolet Impala CNG Conversions for Oklahoma State University
San Bernadino City Gets LNG Refuse Vehicles
Oklahoma State University (Stillwater, Oklahoma) plans to buy 10 compressed natural gas fuelled Chevrolet Impalas for the school’s motor pool at a cost of about $160,500. OSU transportation services manager Chris Hoffman says an original equipment manufacturer in Oklahoma will perform the CNG conversion on the vehicles. President Burns Hargis has said OSU plans to build a CNG fueling station on its Stillwater campus. OSU is also considering buying CNG-powered buses. Earlier, Hargis said that OSU is in the process of converting its entire fleet to CNG vehicles.
Meanwhile, the City of San Bernardino (California) Fleet Division has recently purchased 15 LNG (liquid natural gas) refuse vehicles. With air quality in mind the purchase of these clean-fueled vehicles, which will replace diesel powered vehicles, is seen as another step toward reducing pollution in the South Coast Air Basin.
These vehicles were partially funded through monies from a Mobile Source Air Pollution Review Committee grant, which provides funds to help pay the additional costs of these clean-fuel models. The City already has an operational LNG/CNG fueling station, funded through various state and federal grants. The CNG portion is open to the public.
