Regan Hosterman, operations manager at the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority, started a truck that runs on compressed natural gas.
“Much quieter,” Hosterman said, comparing it with the old diesel trucks.
The compressed natural gas or CNG truck is not only less noisy — it’s cleaner.
The authority’s move to CNG trucks is one of 18 cleaner fuel vehicle projects in 13 counties getting a total of $2.1 million in funding from the Department of Environmental Protection to support cleaner fuel vehicle projects around the state.
