ROUSH CleanTech continues to roll out fleet vehicles fueled by propane autogas to California after the announcement on March 7 from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that the company's fuel system for Ford E-series passenger and cargo vans were granted CARB certification status."This is truly exciting news for the ROUSH CleanTech team and our customers," said Joe Thompson, President of ROUSH CleanTech. "CARB certification is that final nod of approval needed to launch a full line of clean burning propane-autogas-powered passenger and cargo vans to fleet managers in California and other states, who have been eagerly awaiting the availability of our cost-effective alternative fuel solution."
CARB, the "clean air agency" of California, is charged with improving the air quality and reducing the public's exposure to air contaminants. Currently, California is the only state with such a regulatory agency, but several others follow CARB guidelines, including Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
