Energy Vision performed an assessment of the health benefits of replacing older diesel trucks with new models fueled by renewable diesel, renewable natural gas, or electricity. The assessment finds that RNG-powered vehicles may be the optimal solution, as Energy Vision's modeling indicates that the health benefits associated with RNG trucks are 88% of those associated with EVs at much lower cost. See additional detail in the report below.
The transition to more RNG trucks may be facilitated by a new heavy duty X15N RNG engine developed by Cummins.
