Schwan’s Home Service recognized for use of alternative fuel
Schwan’s Home Service has used liquefied propane gas to fuel a portion of its home-delivery fleet for 43 years. Today, about 70 percent of our home-delivery vehicles use propane nationwide.
Ken said Schwan’s Home Service received the recognition for having “the highest petroleum conservation impact among the private sector stakeholders” in the GLACC region. A GLACC representative said Schwan’s Home Service has displaced at least 19,000 gasoline gallon equivalents in 2015 in the mid-Michigan area.
According to the GLACC website, it is a local coalition of the Clean Cities Network, working to address the national challenge of petroleum dependence through local activities that grow the market for alternative fuels and advanced vehicles.
