Mahoney Environmental’s new tractor-trailer fleet is their most versatile combination yet. These lightweight, high capacity combinations give Mahoney the ability to service more customers in a shorter timeframe. This fleet was built to hold more product and improve route efficiency. The increased capacity allows for trucks to run overnight routes, picking up twice as many stops, without the need to offload as often. Mahoney Environmental is dedicated to our environment and demonstrates this through investing in a fleet that reflects that dedication. These trucks are easier on the environment with engines from Detroit Diesel supporting the latest 2017 Greenhouse Gas (GHG17) and 2016 OBD (OBD16) compliance measures. Noise levels have been reduced by over 40% during the collection process by equipping the trailers with an NVE Tri-lobe Blower. In addition to the noise reduction, the blower brings a greater eco-friendly advantage by overcoming the oil consumption, that is typical of older technology vacuum pumps, and eliminates oil vapor emissions. Mahoney Environmental’s goal is to reduce their carbon footprint and provide the highest quality service to their customers while doing so. This new fleet accomplishes that by reducing fuel and oil consumption, allowing for more efficient routing and by operating in a way that is more pleasing to the eyes and ears of our global neighbors.
