Versalift East Makes Going Green Easy!If you’re one of many fleets incorporating hybrid and CNG trucks, don’t stop there, incorporate light weight composite truck bodies, and you’ll have a green fleet with good return on investment. It’s all about efficiency, rightsizing, and incorporating lightweight truck equipment. The U.S. Department of Energy states for every 100 pounds of weight added to your vehicle you reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent.
