Third Fleet Customer at Port of Long Beach Switches to O2Diesel

3 October 2007

A major full-service container terminal operator and stevedore at the Port of Long Beach (California) has become the latest fleet operator to switch to the O2Diesel ethanol-diesel fuel blend developed by O2Diesel Corporation.

The new customer has converted more than 120 pieces of diesel powered equipment to O2Diesel.

O2Diesel Corporation began talking with port facilities in 2003 and one of the large operators at the Port of Long Beach was the first adopter. Additionally, the Port Authority itself has used O2Diesel in its maintenance fleet for more than two years. Other Port tenants are testing the fuel, which is a combination of diesel, renewable ethanol and a proprietary, renewable additive.
