Do you love a clean sky, fresh air, and quiet roads? Me too! But tow truck emissions and wrecker trucks can sometimes hurt the earth. Let’s talk about how CLW GROUP helps stop this problem and gives you better, greener trucks.
Let’s Learn About Towing and the Earth
Tow trucks and wrecker trucks are big helpers. They help broken cars, move heavy things, and make roads safe. But these mighty machines can make air pollution, use lots of fuel, and create too much waste. When trucks idle, they burn more diesel fuel and send out carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This can make breathing hard and the air dirty.
Why Should You Care?
- Dirty air can make us cough and feel bad.
- Trucks can spill oil, old tires, and other hazardous waste.
- Loud trucks make too much noise—this hurts people and animals.
- Using too much fuel is wasteful.
- If you run a towing company, customers like it when you care about the planet.
These are real needs. We can solve them—together.
Big Problems in Towing
Let’s see what hurts the earth most.
Air Pollution
- Diesel engine trucks make a lot of bad air like particulate matter and NOx emissions.
- Old trucks, without aftertreatment systems like DPF or SCR, are worse.
- Trucks that sit still (idling) keep burning fuel. More fuel, more pollution!
Fuel Use
- Big trucks use 4-8 miles per gallon (not much!).
- Idling for 4 hours a day wastes up to 1,000 gallons of fuel each year.
- Every gallon burned sends 22.4 pounds of CO2 into the air.
Waste From Towing
- Oil changes make 5-10 gallons of used oil.
- Lots of old tires and batteries need to be thrown away.
- Some trucks pick up broken cars leaking fluids—this is hazardous!
Too Much Noise
- Towing in cities makes things loud for people and pets.
Using Up Resources
- All that fuel, oil, and washing water add up.
