Convertion - USA - University Va. converts all buses to biodiesel
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.,USA -WAVY-TV -Oct 19, 2005: -- The University of Virginia is converting its 30-bus fleet to be more environmentally friendly... After a summer test run with two buses, the university is shifting to biodiesel to fuel all of its buses, using a 80 percent diesel and 20 percent soy compound... The change will help Virginia farmers who grow the soybeans that are used to make the fuel. Also, biodiesel is slightly less polluting than regular diesel... During the next 12 years, the school will replace 18 cars and trucks in the fleet with diesel and hybrid vehicles...
