The SEFA Group was awarded a State Clean Diesel Grant in South Carolina through the Diesel Emission Reduction Act program, the company said in an Oct. 10 news release.
The State Clean Diesel Grant helped replace eight 2006 or older model tractors in SEFA Transportation’s fleet with new 2020 Freightliner tractors, which are EPA-compliant and Greenhouse Gas Emission-certified, the company said.
The DERA program provides support to improve air quality by reducing harmful emissions from diesel engines. This project was partially funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under a State Clean Diesel Grant through the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Jim Widowfield, SEFA Transportation vice president, said the 2020 tractors will lower diesel emissions and fuel consumption significantly compared to the older models, benefiting the Georgetown, Berkeley, Charleston, Dorchester, and Orangeburg counties in South Carolina.
SEFA Transportation is a wholly owned company of The SEFA Group, based in Lexington, S.C. It provides regional truckload transportation of bulk aggregates. — Transport Topics
