Wisconsin Clean Diesel Coalition - About Us
The Wisconsin Clean Diesel Coalition (WCDC) supports the regional efforts of the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative. WCDC uses education and financial assistance to help diesel equipment operators reduce emissions.
Target Fleets include:
- Publicly owned on-road and non-road vehicles
- Trucks and truck stops/distribution centers
- Construction equipment
- Agricultural equipment
- School buses, publicly and private owned
- Transit buses
- Garbage trucks, publicly and privately owned
- Coach buses
- Local delivery vehicles
- Rail, passenger and freight
- Port Equipment
Strategies pursued under this initiative will address outreach and funding for reducing both operational and idling emissions. The following types of emission reduction options will be evaluated, encouraged and implemented where possible:
- Appropriate types of exhaust retrofits for various fleet types
- Engine upgrades, repower and NOx chip reflash where needed
- Idling reduction devices, specifically for high idle vehicles (trucks, buses, rail)
- Truck stop electrification at popular rest stops and large distribution centers
- Use of cleaner fuels
- Idling reduction incentives, fleet driver training, and restrictions where appropriate (state, regional, fleet-wide)
- Incorporating clean diesel language in contracts (DOT and municipalities with contruction contractors, school districts with bus companies, shippers with carriers, etc.)
