AT&T is expanding its green steps through alternative-fuel fleet to more than 15,000 vehicles by 2019.

The company plans to:

• Replace about 8,000 gasoline-powered vehicles with vehicles powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) over the next five years. This is the largest U.S. corporate commitment to CNG vehicles to date.

• Replace 7,100 passenger cars with alternative-fuel models over the next 10 years.

According to AT&T, the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) in Ann Arbor, Mich., estimates that over the 10-year deployment period, the new vehicles will save 49 million gallons of gasoline and reduce carbon emissions by 211,000 metric tons. That is equivalent to removing the emissions from more than 38,600 traditional passenger vehicles for a year. What a green step!
