News You Can Use in STN Press Release Section Sometimes you never know where you might find news that is relevant to you, such as in our
Press Release section on our homepage,
www.stnonline.com. Tere, you’ll find news about the EPA awarding grant money to the National School Transportation Association (NSTA) to change out three older diesel buses for new ones in New York. Air quality is improving in the areas where those buses operate through their efforts to reduce emissions. While EPA is striving to save the environment one bus at a time, Cummins Westport Inc., which provides high-performance, alternative-fuel engines for the global market, announced that Navistar will offer the Cummins Westport ILR G in International TransStar and WorkStar Trucks. Te ILR G is the No. 1 natural gas engine in North America and will now be transitioned over to many other locations as well. Go to
www.stnonline.com/home/press-releases to check out the full stories on both these new advances along with many others.
