Summary: <p>While “zero emission” and “battery electric” are the hot buzzwords, compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) fueling technology continues to have a strong footing in the refuse industry. Therefore, the death of the internal combustion engine has been greatly exaggerated. Fueling infrastructure for battery electric and CNG/RNG is still not feasible in vast swaths of the country, and clean diesel technology has made great strides. Engine manufacturers have focused on reducing emissions for more than a decade, and they now claim that current tailpipe emissions are cleaner than the air entering the engine! Whether your fleet is all diesel, you’ve transitioned some of it to CNG/RNG or you’re leading the charge in battery-electric vehicle adoption, there are many great ways to keep driving your refuse collection fleet forward.</p> <p>Speakers:<br> Don Ross (Moderator), Vice President, Sales and Marketing, McLaughlin Family Companies and New Way Trucks<br> George Fotopoulos, Vice President, E-Mobility Business, Mack Trucks<br> Marc de Smidt, Vice President, ACX Refuse Engineering<br> Michael Patterson, CEO, Battle Motors<br> Mike Fernandez, Director, Miami-Dade County Department of Solid Waste Management<br> Scott Scholz, General Manager, GreenWaste of Palo Alto</p> <p>If you are a fan of the show, be sure to leave us a 5-Star review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/waste360-nothingwasted-podcast/id1456684605">Apple Podcasts</a>!</p> <p>Connect with us!</p> <p>Instagram: @WasteExpo<br> Twitter: @Waste360 & @Waste_Expo<br> Facebook: @Waste360's WasteExpo<br> TikTok: @WasteExpo <br> <br> Liz Bothwell on Twitter: @LizBothwell <br> <br> <a href="https://www.waste360.com/resources/subscribe-our-waste360-newsletters">Subscribe to our newsletters.</a></p>
