Is traveling by motorcoach really a greener way to ride?
Given all of today’s transportation options, the motorcoach is the best way to travel if you’re looking to minimize your output of carbon dioxide during your trip. Traveling by motorcoach uses less fuel and produces less CO2 than travel in other modes of long-distance transportation. When travelling over long distances, as you inevitably will in Arizona, this will help cut down your personal carbon footprint. A study conducted by Clean Air-Cool Planet compared travel by car, plane, train and motorcoach on an estimated 236-mile round-trip. (The distance between Washington, DC and New York City, one of the nation’s most-traveled corridors). Switching from car to motorcoach would reduce a driver’s carbon dioxide emissions by 6.7 tons. Today’s newest motorcoaches are cleaner still, due to low-emission, clean-diesel engine technology mandated by the EPA that includes a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). In combination with Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel, the DPF cuts particulate matter by 90%. The new
