The 85-year-old family business partnered with Chicago Area Clean Cities for initial federal funding and plans to convert or replace its entire fleet by 2020.

Natural gas concrete mixers might also garner special government "green" initiative tax breaks or something like that. If the new machines function as well as the petroleum-driven ones, why not buy them? They have six years to get everything converted; hopefully the new legislature won't cut them off in the coming years.
