Fleets |
|
What roles do fleets play in protecting air quality? As a fleet owner or manager, you have many opportunities to help improve air quality. By the year 2007, mobile sources will contribute more than 60 percent of Tennessee’s nitrogen oxide (NOx)emissions, one of the key pollutants that create ozone. Heavy-duty diesel engines also create fine particle pollution (PM2.5). Reducing the air pollutants emitted from your company’s vehicles will help reduce harmful levels of ozone and fine particle pollution in Tennessee. What can I do to reduce air pollution? Regardless of the types of vehicles you drive or the size of your fleet, you can take action to reduce your organization’s vehicle emissions.

Find out more about this program at https://epact.energy.gov/ Tennessee's designated Clean Cities coalitions work to provide clean domestic alternatives to gasoline and diesel in the transportation sector and reduce national dependence on foreign petroleum while improving regional air quality.
