![]() The Growing Importance and Need for RNG Refuse Truck Options Inset: The ACX FL CNG-operated severe-duty cabover refuse truck is known for its reliability and durability that stands up to its diesel counterpart. Intriguingly, a few fleets have worked to achieve greater cost reduction goals by opting to power their trucks with RNG produced through landfill gas recapture or landfill gas waste to energy conversion.Īutocar’s line of DC-64 conventional cabs fit the needs of each vocation served by providing the power needed to run the severe-duty truck CNG options available. However, for refuse fleets, investing in more CNG-powered and alternative fuel-powered trucks may not help to meet their ESG and operation needs alone. While there are CNG powered refuse trucks currently in circulation, the market for these trucks has room to grow as a popular and necessary option for customers. We think the market for refuse trucks, and vocational trucks in general, is only beginning the transition to alternative fuels and other sustainable options. OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) have been emphasizing the importance of alternative fuels for years, and this is likely to continue as the market for alternative fuels grows. The benefits of these options in terms of cost and sustainability make them attractive options for refuse fleets looking to save money and reduce their environmental impact. As diesel fuel prices continue to rise, refuse collection businesses are increasingly looking into alternatives such as compressed natural gas (CNG), renewable natural gas (RNG), and liquified natural gas (LNG). ![]() One glance at the fuel prices these days creates a concern for the sustainability and realities of fossil fuel options. However, the technology and goals of the refuse industry provide a steppingstone in the right direction. ![]() Refuse management companies still have a long way to go to meet the requirements set forth to counteract the challenges of lowering emissions and costs. ![]()
