The American Trucking Associations (ATA) board of directors has unanimously endorsed an energy resolution that includes promoting low blends of biodiesel as part of the organization's efforts to help shape a strong national energy plan.
This resolution, sanctioned by the board members at ATA's annual Management Conference and Exhibition in Boston MA, looks to increase the diesel fuel supply; improve the balance between environmental concerns and fuel efficiency; eliminate boutique diesel fuels; and promote biodiesel use of up to 5%. The resolution says “biodiesel may be an effective means to extend the supply of diesel fuel.”
