The City of Oakland was the first major city in North America to adopt the use of renewable diesel in 2015. Now, the city’s fleet uses renewable diesel in all its diesel-powered equipment.
The Assistant Director of Public Works, Richard Battersby, said “Although at first renewable diesel seemed too good to be true, it truly has proven to be a ‘miracle fuel.’ Making the switch to renewable diesel is absolutely the easiest alternative fuel implementation that I have ever experienced.”
