Success Stories
Clean Cities / 6
• Republic (Allied Waste) has 72 CNG waste haulers on the road today, and is projected to have 200 in three years.
• Propane mowers have become very popular and are one of the hottest
sellers right now! With the PERC and MOPERC incentives, you can buy these mowers for less than their gas-powered counterparts. Mowing companies love them! - what was a 500 hour oil change frequency is now at 1500 hours; and gasoline is not walking away everyday - companies figure 20 to 25% of their gas ends up in employees’ cars.
• Electric - Tesla has opened a service center. There are now 80 registered
Teslas in St. Louis. St. Louis ranks 21st in the country for Leaf sales.
