Detroit to Fuel 28 New Buses with B20 Biodiesel
(City of Detroit/Biobased Diesel Daily) The Detroit Department of Transportation continues to expand and improve its fleet of buses with the recent addition of 28 new cleaner diesel-engine coaches, giving the transit system its youngest and most environmentally friendly fleet in its history.
The 28 new 40-foot coaches, from bus manufacturer New Flyer, will use an environmentally friendly fuel blend of 20 percent biodiesel.
The new coaches will allow for the decommissioning of 28 coaches added to the fleet in 2010, DDOT’s oldest buses still in active service.
Engine technology has improved significantly since 2010, so the new buses produce fewer emissions. READ MORE
