We are beyond excited to share some groundbreaking news with our community. In our continued mission to prioritize sustainability, Arrow Stage Lines has taken a monumental step forward. We’re switching our entire fleet in Nebraska to run on biodiesel! 🍃
Strong Partnerships for a Sustainable Future
Our commitment to a greener tomorrow has been strengthened by partnering with the prestigious University of Nebraska and the dedicated Nebraska Soybean Board. Together, we’re pioneering a movement towards sustainable transportation in the Cornhusker State.
If you’ve been to a University of Nebraska Athletics event recently, you might have spotted our buses proudly displaying the logo “Team Bus Powered by Biodiesel”. But here’s the BIG news – it’s not just the University team buses. Every single Arrow Stage Lines bus operating in Nebraska will now be powered by this incredible fuel!
Why Biodiesel?
For those unfamiliar, biodiesel is a remarkable, clean-burning fuel made primarily from U.S. soy oil, among other renewable resources. Here’s why we chose biodiesel for our Nebraska fleet:
Performance: Biodiesel offers fuel economy, horsepower, and torque that’s on par with conventional petroleum diesel.
Eco-Friendly: It has considerably fewer harmful effects on diesel engines, the environment, and human health.
Economic Impact: Adopting biodiesel reduces our reliance on foreign oil, stimulates the U.S. economy, and supports tens of thousands of jobs.
Boost to Soybean Farmers: The usage of biodiesel adds a significant 63 cents per bushel to the value of soybeans. Moreover, it brings down soy protein meal prices by $20 – $40/ ton.
Health and Environment: Biodiesel substantially reduces particulate matter by 47%, curtails smog, and overall makes the air around us healthier to breathe.
Additionally, biodiesel proudly stands as an Advanced Biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard, a testament to its eco-friendliness and efficiency.
Supporting Local and Thinking Global
This shift to biodiesel helps bolster more than 60,000 jobs across the U.S. and results in an impressive $2.6 billion in wages. Every journey with Arrow Stage Lines in Nebraska is now not just a travel experience but a stride towards a sustainable future.
Join Us on This Green Journey
We believe that sustainable choices create ripple effects. Arrow Stage Lines is thrilled to embark on this biodiesel journey, and we invite you to be a part of it. By choosing to travel with us, you’re not only getting a top-tier travel experience but also contributing to a brighter, cleaner, and greener future for all.
A huge shout-out to our partners, the University of Nebraska and the Nebraska Soybean Board, for making this dream a reality. The future is green, and together, we’re driving towards it!
