U.S. EPA hopes Charlotte, N.C., clean-bus fleet-fuel test spurs Southeast ULSD corridor
Diesel Fuel News, June 23, 2003
Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is the Southeast's first transit bus fleet switching to ultra-low sulfur diesel -- initially in a few buses. It's part of a joint EPA/industry effort to create enough ULSD demand so that a clean-fleet ULSD supply corridor can emerge (see Diesel Fuel News 6/9/03, p20), helping reduce production and transport costs.
Today, CATS faces a 25 cents/gallon price premium on ULSD (according to a Charlotte Observer report), but that cost would drop dramatically with volume shipping, ULSD proponents say. "Hopefully this test bed in Charlotte will prove successful and we'll be able to add more partners to the initiative," explains EPA diesel retrofit official Jim Blubaugh.
