CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago's O'Hare International Airport will receive a $640,000 grant from the federal Environmental Protection Agency to buy zero emissions ground support equipment.
City officials said Monday that the grant will let the Chicago Department of Aviation and United Airlines invest $1.4 million to buy 26 new pieces of equipment to replace older, diesel-fueled equipment. The city and airline say the effort will save more than 1.4 million gallons of diesel fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
