In April 2010, the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) Board selected Ryder as its fleet partner in a ground-breaking heavy-duty natural gas truck rental and leasing project. As part of the project, which aims to improve air quality in southern California, 202 heavy-duty natural gas-powered trucks will be deployed into Ryder's southern California operations network. Based on estimates, the project will: displace 1.51 million gallons of diesel fuel with 100-percent domestically produced low-carbon natural gas; use nearly three million gallons of domestically produced low carbon LNG; reduce 9.2 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and 131 tons of nitrogen oxide annually; and completely eliminate 2.65 tons of diesel particulate matter emissions from local neighborhoods.
