The city bought the new vehicles using stimulus money from the federal government. The mayor’s office said the new vehicles are a part of Gray’s Sustainable D.C. initiative., which includes plans to reduce emissions by using alternative fuel vehicles.
Gray will formally announce the purchases at a morning news conference in Northeast.
Alternative fuel vehicles run on fuels that include ethanol, natural gas and hydrogen.
