In a press release issued Aug. 21, the Port of Los Angeles

trucking companies for their commitment to helping curtail harmful

organizations are expected to collectively deploy up to 2,000 new

EPA diesel emission standards. Swift Transportation�s Vice
President, David Berry, said, �Swift Transportation is a leader in
the trucking industry for sustainable green trucking. We support
the clean air goals of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and
recognize our responsibility to contribute to the effort. We are
committed to using LNG trucks, the cleanest trucks available, as
part of our strategy to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases.
We are working out the operational details of our program, but we
intend to include LNG trucks as an integral part of our clean air
solution." �We salute the leadership of these two fine trucking
companies, whose participation as drayage companies will contribute
in a major way to the success of the Port of Los Angeles in its
landmark efforts to curtail air pollution generated by goods
movement activities at the Port and in the surrounding
communities,� said Andrew Littlefair, Clean Energy President and
CEO. �Deploying clean-burning natural gas trucks is one of the best
ways to enable the Port to grow while reducing emissions of
greenhouse gases and air pollution associated with that growth.�
