Egged Bus Company Publishes Its First Environmental Report
(SocialFunds.com) - Egged, the largest public transportation company in Israel, has recently released its first environmental report for 2002. Egged switched to low-sulfur diesel fuel and has been replacing its older buses with newer Euro-III standard buses to meet a goal of 50% emission reduction in just 3 years for its inner-city fleet. In the city centers of Haifa and Jerusalem additional 30% and 15% emission reductions have been achieved. Egged built new integrated transportation terminals in Haifa and Jerusalem, where indoor air quality and noise levels are carefully monitored and controlled using state-of-the-art design and technologies.
