“By choosing a clean diesel bus fueled with biodiesel fuel, “American Idol” made an excellent choice toward being environmentally friendly while still having the power and fuel-efficiency needed to complete this grueling, four-week, 16-city national tour that ranges across the entire United States,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum, in a release.

According to the release, the Diesel Technology Forum is working with the National Biodiesel Board to “promote the use of renewable fuels.”
