GASTONIA, N.C. – Veritable Vegetable, a full-service distributor of organic fruits and vegetables to independent retailers, cooperative markets, restaurants and schools in California and four other western states, has been named the “2012 Green Fleet of the Year” by WIX Filters. The annual award recognizes companies that use green technologies to reduce energy consumption at every level, including truck fleets.
The San Francisco-based company was selected because of its commitment to sustainable business practices including the operation of a modern and clean fleet of vehicles that travels 1.75 million miles annually across California and parts of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada.
The award is sponsored by WIX, which offers its own ‘green’ filter option for fleets – WIX ecoLAST, a revolutionary line of heavy-duty oil filters that doubles oil life and can save fleets $100 to $200 per vehicle annually.
