Electrification Project by Duke Energy and Golden State Foods to Save Fuel and Lower Emissions
A total of 32 electric power outlets will help trucks at the Golden State Foods (GSF) distribution center to cut costs and lower air emissions as part of a Duke Energy electrification project.
As one of the largest diversified suppliers to the foodservice and retail industries, GSF will allow cargo trucks to stop idling their engines to keep food cold, and instead plug into power outlets at the facility. The $300,000 project will help lower exhaust emissions, and is cheaper than the practice of running trucks on diesel fuel. SafeConnect® Systems installed the power outlets.
