AT&T Rewarded for CNG Program
Monday, October 12th, 2009
AT&T was recently recognized for its concentrated effort to encourage the use of natural gas in its fleet vehicles and educating the public on the benefits of alternative fuels. The telecommunications giant was one of five recipients of the National NGV Achievement Award at the Natural Gas Vehicle Conference-Summit in Long Beach, California.
After conducting a thorough investigation of natural gas vehicle options, benefits and availability, AT&T decided in 2008 to field test 25 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered installation-and-service vans in several of its California locations. After deploying the units and evaluating their performance, AT&T announced in early 2009 that it would replace approximately 8,000 gasoline-powered service vehicles with vehicles powered by CNG over the next five years. The company plans to deploy 15,000 alternative fuel vehicles by 2019. BAF Technologies also announced June 30 it would help AT&T with the conversion to compressed natural gas. The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) estimates AT&T’s CNG vehicles will save 49 million gallons of gasoline and reduce carbon emissions by 25 percent over its 10-year implication. Ranked No.1 on Automotive Fleet’s Top 300 Commercial Fleets of 2009 based on size, AT&T operates 86,099 vehicles in its fleet.
