Satellite Feed Today at 3:30 p.m.: Pa. Turnpike Opens Truck-Electrification Facility at New Stanton Rest Stop

HARRISBURG, PA (06/04/2010)(readMedia)-- The Pa. Satellite News Service today will provide a 3:30 p.m. satellite feed of a morning news conference: Officials from the Pennsylvania Turnpike and its partners marked the opening of a Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) facility at its New Stanton Service Plaza at milepost 77.6 off the westbound lanes of I-76 in Westmoreland County.

The TSE, developed by CabAire LLC, Enfield, Conn., is comprised of towers equipped with modules that fit into truck-cab windows to provide heat, air conditioning, internet, TV and electrical power to trucks and other diesel-powered vehicles while the engine is shutoff.

Presently the only one of its kind in the state, the TSE is designed to help reduce pollution and land-development impacts to neighborhoods surrounding the travel plaza - and just one of several steps the Turnpike is taking towards a greener environment.

The satellite feed includes interviews with Turnpike CEO Joe Brimmeier, officials cutting the ribbon on the TSE, and b-roll of how the TSE towers are used by truckers.
