WMEP Releases First Report on Wisconsin Profitable Sustainability Initiative
Innovative Pilot Program to Promote Sustainable Manufacturing to Generate a $54 Million Economic Impact Over Five Years Sustainability Fuels Savings, Growth and Competitive Advantage for 45 Participants Environmental and Financial Impacts Exceed Expectations, Program Delivers Substantial ROI for Manufacturers, State of WisconsinForty-five state manufacturers are participating in the Wisconsin Profitable Sustainability Initiative (PSI) pilot program launched in April 2010 by WMEP and the Wisconsin Department of Commerce. Over the past year, WMEP and a team of expert partners have worked with the manufacturers to identify and implement 87 high-payback projects targeting energy, logistics, product and process innovation and environmental improvements.
The financial and environmental benefits exceed expectations, and present a compelling case to continue the program, the report states.
“These findings demonstrate the power of sustainability to drive savings, growth and competitive advantage for state manufacturers – while at the same time reducing their environmental impacts,” said Buckley Brinkman, WMEP’s executive director and CEO. “This is a win for everyone. It’s great for business, great for our economy and great for the communities where we live and work.”
Five-year financial and environmental impacts for 87 PSI projects currently underway or planned include:
$26.9 million in savings $23.5 million in increased/retained sales $3.6 million in investment $54 million total economic impactEnvironmental impacts include reductions in:
Electricity: 17.3 million kilowatt hours Carbon dioxide equivalents: 45.6 metric tonnes Transportation: 10.8 million miles Solid waste diverted from landfills: 11,245 tons Air emissions: 83.7 tonsThe financial and environmental impacts are based on rigorous cost-benefit and data analyses completed by WMEP and its partners, BT Squared, Inc., LogiServe and Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP in consultation with PSI participants.

CDLjobs.com Trucking Jobs Blog: Wisconsin Kenworth 'Clear Choice ...
MADISON, Wis. – Customers tested Kenworth on-highway and vocational trucks equipped with Cummins 2010-compliant engines and Kenworth diesel-electric hybrid trucks and learned more about coming 2010 engine technology during Wisconsin Kenworth’s Clear Choice, a one-day customer event recently held at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
Nearly 175 customers attended and learned more about Kenworth’s latest vocational model – the T470 now in production – and innovative technologies that offer enhanced reliability, productivity and fuel economy in their fleet operations. Key presentations covered 2010 Cummins engines and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology, Eaton’s role in Kenworth diesel-electric hybrid trucks, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and its distribution.
Bill Kozek, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president, provided an industry update and an overview of Kenworth’s continuing efforts to enhance its line of truck products. Kozek then joined Brian Lindgren, Kenworth’s director of vocational sales; Jared White, Kenworth Great Lakes regional sales manager; and Patrick Dean, Kenworth engineering program manager; for a question and answer session with seminar attendees.
“Customers received a closer look at the technology that will meet the 2010 Environmental Protection Agency’s diesel-engine emissions regulations, and provide the engine reliability they seek,” said Jim Moeller, president of Wisconsin Kenworth. By 2010, all new engines must achieve just 0.2 grams per hp-hour emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx), a greenhouse gas- and smog-causing compound, to meet 2010 emissions standards. PACCAR and Cummins engines will accomplish this through SCR technology.
“This event gave customers the chance to learn first-hand how SCR technology will achieve up to a 5 percent improvement in fuel economy while meeting EPA regulations,” Moeller said. “It also gave them the opportunity to learn more about steps being taken to ensure an adequate supply and distribution of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).”
The event’s Ride and Drive featured the Kenworth T270, Kenworth T660, Kenworth T800, and Kenworth T2000 in various configurations. The T270 applications included a pickup and delivery hybrid, van body, and landscape unit. The Class 8 product, all equipped with 2010-compliant Cummins ISX engines, featured a T800 milk truck, a T800 day cab, T660 38-inch AeroCab® sleeper, and T2000 75-inch Aerodyne® sleeper. On display were three T660s and a T270 hybrid with van body.
