Anheuser-Busch just received funding to clean up their act. The EPA gave the company a $150,000 grant to do so. They are working on getting trucks that contain multi-stage filters to trap and reduce emissions by 70-80 percent. The Hunts point Fleet is located in the Bronx, contains 75 trucks, 15 of which will contain the new filtration devices. The fleet will also fuel the trucks with bio-diesel. The company hopes to have 22 of these new trucks by 2009. They are also swapping out diesel engines with compressed natural gas engines.

If they did this to all of their fleets or trucks, I am sure it would reduce alot of emission! Good for them to stepping in the right direction.
