New York gets a facelift of sorts as its sanitation department will now be powered with hybrid-diesel trucks that will clean up the city. Aside from the usual cleaning along the streets of New York, the Kenworth T370 is expected to lead by example in the call for eco-friendly transport solutions aimed at fending off the growing greenhouse gas and carbon emissions caused by public serving vehicles.
“We are pleased to introduce the Kenworth T370 as New York City’s first medium duty diesel-electric hybrid truck,” said Rocco DiRico, Deputy Commissioner of Support Services for the New York City Department of Sanitation. “We are committed to use fuel-efficient vehicles that will reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions and improve the air we breathe. The Kenworth hybrid will help reduce fuel consumption and emissions in New York City.”
Hopefully, this move will help encourage local folks to do the same as far as addressing the eco-friendly concerns the world has to contend with to date. The City’s Kenworth T370 hybrid is equipped with a stakebed body, PACCAR PX-6 engine rated at 240hp and 560 lb-ft of torque, and the Eaton diesel-electric hybrid power system.
The Kenworth hybrid’s assignment is to pick up and deliver supplies and parts for the Department of Sanitation’s various locations throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
