California/Mexico border road project using renewable diesel to power equipment

In California, the Construction Equipment Guide reports that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and San Diego Association of Governments are using renewable diesel to power off-road construction equipment during the construction of state Route 11 (SR-11)/Otay Mesa East Port of Entry project on the Mexican border. The senior project manager overseeing the construction site says that renewable diesel is about the same price as fossil-based fuel and has no negative impacts on the machinery being used.
