The LNG-powered trucks are based at PG&E's Fremont service warehouse from where all the utility's supplies are shipped and are being put into service for routes to Fresno, Marysville, Ukiah and Templeton. Four of the Class 8 LNG trucks will be used for two shifts per day, representing approximately 800 miles per day per truck.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif., Oct 25, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- This month, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (GCCOG) celebrated the five-year anniversary of its landmark Fleet Modernization program for heavy-duty trucks. Since providing its first grant in October 2002, the Gateway Cities has allocated $23.5 million from five different government funding partners to replace 628 older heavy-duty diesel trucks with newer, cleaner models. To date, these efforts have succeeded in eliminating an estimated 107 tons of toxic diesel particulate matter (PM), which is the leading airborne cause of cancer in California. In addition, emissions of smog-causing oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and reactive organic gases (ROG) have been reduced by an estimated 150 and 62 tons, respectively.
