Cuts Vehicle Air Pollution

Did you know that cars are an important contribution to air pollution? Yes, at first hand the air pollution comes from cars and trucks in the city of Minneapolis Department of Fleet Management. The air pollution is associated with cancer, heart and lung diseases, asthma and allergies. Carbon dioxide is the gas has also been criticized as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

The Department of Fleet Management in Minneapolis has recently announced their  Green Fleet  policy owner. The owner of the green fleet policy works by the sustainability of the fleet and the cost to the taxpayer.

The owner of the green fleet of the city was a great success so far and the results are impressive. Due to the recent decisions of the strategy of the new fleet of Green Park in Minneapolis now uses fewer cars in the most intelligent and administration, reduce the cost to taxpayers and reduce air pollution.

Administration of the city's fleet has announced that it has the new owner of the Green Fleet allowed the city, the consumption of gas in city vehicles and equipment by 6 percent reduced from 2008 to 2010, reducing the fleet of 75 vehicles since 2008, improving energy efficiency for the purchase of a fleet of 324 hybrid cars, alternative fuel vehicles or retro high energy largely to reduce emissions (see the federal grant.)

City officials said they are to be reduced with a GPS tracking method of fleet costs in the possession of the short-term trading and long-term urban vehicles. The method of GPS tracking helps to reduce the city idle, because ten seconds idling consumes more fuel than restarting in general, automotive and produces more pollutants.

The driver can make a big impact on the change in driving behavior. Minneapolis City rules prohibit most vehicles idle for several minutes. Most people do not realize the maximum amount of exhaust gas. In fewer steps, the driver anywhere, but it burns fuel and pollutes the air unnecessarily. The exhaust gases at least the car is more dangerous than the exhaust from a moving car because the exhaust gas pollution over the place.
