New York City is poised to get its first fleet of biodiesel moving trucks today.
One of the largest building suppliers on the Northeast, Marjam, is converting 28 of its moving trucks to biodiesel fuel from regular diesel. If the pilot program proves successful, the company plans to convert its entire fleet of 500 trucks to the cleaner fuel, a spokesman said.
Converting the New York fleet to biodiesel is the equivalent of taking about 45 vehicles a year off the road, a company spokesman said. The cleaner fuel produces less carbon dioxide emissions than traditional diesel gas.
