The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced funding worth more than $1.2 million (£0.9m) to fund diesel emissions reduction programmes in the Port of New Orleans.
The funding will be used for the Port of New Orleans’ Clean Truck Replacement Incentive Programme (Clean TRIP), which will see the replacement of certain diesel-powered trucks at port facilities in Orleans, Jefferson and Saint Bernard Parishes.
At least 34 short haul trucks servicing cargo terminals and warehouses along the Mississippi River and the Port’s Inner Harbour will be replaced with cleaner models.
