The Greer Commission of Public Works (CPW) was recently awarded the 2015 Green Fleet Leader Award from the Palmetto State Clean Fuels Coalition at its annual stakeholder meeting in Sumter on June 28.
Greer CPW submitted for the award several months ago, which highlighted the company’s 20 compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and the usage of a GPS monitoring system to cut down on idling time and unnecessary vehicles overlapping in the field.
CPW has offset the amount of carbon dioxide usage of its fleet by approximately 29 percent over gasoline and diesel and has helped the City of Greer incorporate CNG vehicles into their fleet. CPW also operates a CNG fast fill station that is open to the public at 115 Duke St. in Greenville.
“We were extremely excited to receive this award and believe it shows the outstanding pride Greer CPW takes in promoting alternative fueling sources,” said Rob Rhodes, Greer CPW gas department manager.
