Biodiesel * USA - LTD rolls out test the blend in its older buses
The Lane Transit District has jumped on the biodiesel bandwagon
Eugene,OR,USA -The Register-Guard, by Jeff Wright -June 16, 2007: -- In a test run, the transit district has begun adding a 5 percent blend of plant-based biodiesel to its low-sulfur diesel in 10 of its older buses... If no major problems surface, LTD hopes to increase the biodiesel blend incrementally to 20 percent for its entire 110-bus fleet, spokesman Andy Vobora said... LTD is joining other transit districts and commercial fleets that have already experimented with biodiesel blends, Vobora said. Portland's TriMet bus system, for example, uses a 5 percent blend in all its buses and, closer to home, Sanipac uses a 20 percent blend in all its diesel-fueled vehicles... Increased demand for biodiesel has resulted in a more reliable supply, and at lower costs that are more competitive with regular diesel, Vobora said...
