The Diesel Technology Forum will be hosting an exhibition of advanced clean diesel technology and renewable diesel fuel at the Society of Environmental Journalist’s 26th Annual Conferencein Sacramento, CA, on September 21-23.

The Forum’s “Meeting the Climate and Clean Air Challenge for the Future” Learning Center brings together the largest and most diverse display of fuel-efficient commercial trucks, top-selling diesel pickup trucks, construction and agricultural machinery, and even a locomotive engine in California – the national leader in advancing clean air and climate protection policies.

“With the global conversation on climate and energy policy, it is essential to demonstrate first-hand the kinds of advancements and technologies that keep today’s global economy moving, and also help achieve the clean air, energy and climate goals in the future,” said Allen Schaeffer, the executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum.

“The leaders in clean diesel technology will be on hand to discuss these near-zero emission engines, vehicles and equipment as well as renewable diesel fuel. We’ll also discuss how these technologies are already playing a major role in improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a national basis,” said Schaeffer.

Schaeffer added, “With diesel equipment and vehicles at work every day across many sectors throughout the world, this advance diesel technology is today’s readily available solution for achieving tomorrow’s clean air, climate and energy goals.”

The event will feature several innovations including:

  • The first plug-in hybrid Class 8 truck that will help improve air quality for communities near port and freight activity
  • Some of the latest top-selling pickup trucks that run clean and have impressive fuel economy
  • Agricultural equipment that can be operated by a tablet to boost productivity and save fuel
  • The latest locomotive engine that will power California’s goods movement industry while reducing emissions by more than 90 percent
