Biodiesel and renewable diesel help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They also lower particulate matter during combustion, which improves DPF performance.
The Cummins Westport ISX12N is certified at near-zero emissions.
Internal combustion advocates argue that President Joe Biden’s recent Executive Order calling to clean up the federal government s car and truck fleet should include engines that have chopped emissions and reduced their carbon intensity scores and not just those that run on batteries.
Their comments follow Biden’s “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad” EO, which calls for changing the federal fleet to “clean and zero-emission” vehicles.
Last year on the campaign trail, Biden said that he wanted to change the federal fleet to all-electric and add some 500,000 chargers to the nation s infrastructure. With 645,000 vehicles, 65% of which are light, medium and heavy-duty trucks, the federal fleet is by far the nation’s largest.
