2019 NTEA Fleet Purchasing Outlook reveals continued strong demand for biodiesel in diesel trucks

Green Car Congress

MARCH 11, 2019

Each year, NTEA conducts a comprehensive Fleet Purchasing Outlook Survey to better understand the commercial vehicle landscape, including interest levels for advanced truck technologies and alternative fuels. It is highly likely that clean energy solutions will remain relevant due to oil price instability.
