INGLEWOOD, CA- The City of Inglewood, Calif., recently took delivery of four propane-powered aerial bucket trucks, expected to reduce fuels costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Funded by $100,000 worth of grant funds from the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (AQMD) Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC), the new Altec Industry aerial bucket trucks operate on propane and are expected to save $60,000 in annual fuel costs.

In 2005, the City of Inglewood adopted a 6-year alternative-fuel plan which identified funding, fueling infrastructure, and the purchase of 145 alt-fuel vehicles (AFVs). To date, the City has implemented a compressed natural gas, propane, and B-20 fueling station that offers semi-public access. Fleet Management and Transit Services maintains over 150 AFVs, including hybrids and electric vehicles, funded by $5.2 million in grants from various agencies such as the AQMD, MSRC, Carl Moyer Program, Propane Energy Resource Council (PERC), (CARB) California Air Resources Board, and America Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Energy Block.

In addition to the new trucks, the City was also awarded ARRA funds for the development of an E-85 fueling station to be located at the City's Service Center and public access. The station is expected to be built by the end of 2010.

Currently operating more than 200 vehicles capable of running on E-85, the City of Inglewood was one of 20 public sector fleets recognized as a 2009 Environmental Leadership Award recipient.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
