Green Fleet Magazine, Green Fleet Conference & Expo organizers and The 100 Best Fleets in North America joined forces to honor some of the nation's top sustainability leaders at this year's event. During this year's event, the following honors were given out:
Sustainability All-Star Awards - Winners were chosen based on a variety of criteria including professional longevity, accomplishments, innovation and overall industry involvement. Click here for the full article and list of winners.
Propane Hero Award - The 2011 Propane Hero Award was presented to Frito-Lay by the Texas Propane Gas Association. Frito-Lay recently implemented Roush CleanTech E-350 rear wheel (DRW) cutaway chassis for product deliveries, and was the first fleet to incorporate this alternative fuel system into its operation. The company chose propane autogas not only for its high performance and cost savings but also to clean up the air in its community.
