Near-Zero Emission Engine
Project description:

This project installs a new Near-Zero Emission Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) propulsion system on one of Unitrans’ 40 single deck buses. These Near-Zero Emission engines are significantly cleaner than the current CNG engines on Unitrans’ buses, reducing smog causing Nitrogen Oxide emissions by 90% compared to our oldest single deck buses.
