When Carter Newt of Newt Marine Service decided to begin repowering his fleet, his strategy and requirements were simple.He wanted a propulsion system that was dependable, fuel efficient and backed by reliable service and support. He also wanted an environmentally friendly system as Newt Marine, like many other companies, is committed to looking at ways it can reduce its global footprint. Ultimately, he decided on Volvo Penta and Interstate PowerSystems to meet those needs with systems that include Tier 3 engines."Upgrading to Tier 3 engines provides an immediate health benefit to the crew members and community," said Newt, vice president of Newt Marine, based in Dubuque, Iowa. "Additionally, the fuel usage saved is quite substantial, and the useful life of the engines will have a noticeable impact on the consistent fleet operations for the next several decades. As we progress with repowering machines to Tier 3 or greater, we are striving to create jobsites that are 'green' by having clean-emission boats, excavators, and winches." |
