The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) has reported significant cost savings and environmental benefits from using EcoChem's High Performance Clean Diesel (HPCD) Fuel, following a 12-week trial period. The district, which has been using HPCD for the past decade, confirmed an 8% fuel saving and an estimated 5% reduction in maintenance and equipment life costs, translating to over $250,000 in annual savings.
The impetus for the latest testing was the installation of new, clean fuel tanks at CMSD's fuel depot. Despite the new infrastructure, traditional diesel fuel showed contamination and degradation issues, while HPCD continued to deliver superior performance. “Even with new pumps and tanks, HPCD still outperformed traditional diesel by 8%,” noted the CMSD Transportation Supervisor.
EcoChem's HPCD fuel treatment protocol is designed to ultra-refine fuel at the bus fueling station, removing contaminants and reversing fuel degradation. This process ensures optimized combustion and fuel efficiency, significantly reducing black smoke and dirty exhaust issues. The cleaner fuel also contributes to reduced wear-and-tear on engines, lessening maintenance costs and extending the longevity of the school bus fleet.
“Our buses are running cleaner and lasting longer, contributing to the health and safety of our students,” stated the CMSD Transportation Director. Joshua F. Koch, Founder and CIO of EcoChem Alternative Fuels, emphasized the company's commitment to creating a healthier environment for children in and around school buses, citing the decade-long successful partnership with CMSD as a testament to this mission.
Looking ahead, CMSD plans to continue using HPCD fuel, confident in its performance, cost savings, and environmental benefits. The district’s success story encourages other school districts nationwide to consider switching to EcoChem's HPCD fuel, potentially unlocking significant fuel savings, reduced maintenance costs, extended fleet life, and lower emissions while prioritizing student health and well-being.
