Final Assembly Wins $100,000 Grant from MSRC for Greening of Fleet

We are thrilled to announce that Final Assembly, Inc. has received a $100,000 grant from the MSRC (Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee) toward the purchase of four liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane medium heavy-duty trucks. The MSRCs Incentives for the Purchase of "Near-Zero Emission" Medium Duty and Medium Heavy Duty Vehicles program has given us the incredible opportunity to operate a greener fleet by funding the purchase of four alternative-fueled trucks.

An environmentally responsible company, Final Assembly, Inc. is continually working to create and implement projects that reduce air pollution and safeguard the welfare of our customers and neighbors in Orange County. The addition of four LPG trucks will help lower toxic emissions and improve overall air quality. LPG produces fewer carbon emissions, does not contaminate groundwater and also results in less corrosion and engine wear.

Over the next few years, Final Assembly, Inc. is committed to replacing its large fleet of mainly conventional-fueled vans and trucks with more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly vehicles. This ambitious environmental transportation plan will result in lower fuel costs, increased efficiency and improved air quality for the myriad of customers, residents and visitors in the southern California region. The company already owns and operates two propane vehicles: a van and a sixteen foot truck.

Fleet of Propane Powered Vehicles Arrives

Final Assembly announces the purhcase of three propane powered Isuzu bobtail trucks and one propane powered Ford van. "Propane is an efficient, environmentally friendly fuel. For us, this was an easy decision," said Final Assembly Vice President Bill Morse.

Propane vehicles can produce fewer ozone-forming emissions than vehicles powered by reformulated gasoline. In addition, tests on light-duty, bi-fuel vehicles have demonstrated a 98% reduction in the emissions of toxics, including benzene, 1,3 butadiene, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde, when the vehicles were running on propane rather than gasoline. Approximately 85% of all propane used in this country comes from domestic sources, so driving a propane vehicle can help reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil and strengthen national energy security.
