PHILADELPHIA, PA — CARDONE Industries has been awarded the 2007 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence for exceptional strides in its efforts to protect the environment. The Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence honors Pennsylvania businesses and organizations that put in place projects that tackle environmental problems and help build new businesses, enhance the bottom line and engage residents in a renewed commitment to investing in their communities.

In June 2006, CARDONE installed RigMaster Auxiliary Power Units on 23 of its long-haul tractors. This move netted the company an annual net savings of 12,000 idling hours, equaling a savings of 9,600 gallons ($28,128 @ 2.93/gal) of fuel with a nitrogen-oxides-emission reduction of 3,703 pounds and a carbon dioxide reduction of 216,931 pounds per year.

The company said it expects to meet or exceed these numbers again this year.
