EPA to display new hybrid diesel reefer trucks

EPA to display new hybrid diesel reefer trucks U.S. Environmental Protection Agency District 2 said its Regional Administrator Alan J. Steinberg will showcase a hybrid diesel reefer truck at the New York Cruise Terminal on Wednesday.
   The EPA said Steinberg would discuss pollution-slashing technology for refrigerated trucks and trailers. He will be joined by representatives from the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority, which sponsored the demonstration project, and corporate partners such as Carrier Transicold, Shurepower and Maines Paper and Food, which are involved in the pilot project.
   The EPA said if adopted nationwide, the new technology could transform the trucking industry with cleaner and more efficient energy alternatives.
