Bronx Distributor Will Use Clean Trucks
This week, Manhattan Beer Distributor announced it will be the first
company in the Bronx to use compressed natural gas for heavy-duty trucks.
Manhattan Beer will retrofit nine of its diesel trucks with CNG engines
that will be fueled at the company’s depot. Manhattan Beer expects its
fueling station to be ready in 8-10 weeks.
In part, the decision to switch fuels was a result of
a Bronx clean fuel forum last year. Various federal grants will support
the switch. Congressman Jose Serrano, whose office has been working to
encourage such moves, applauded the company.
