Senator Jeff Merkley Explores Sustainable Practices at ConMet Foundry in Clackamas, Oregon

CLACKAMAS, Ore., July 21, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley recently toured the ConMet foundry in Clackamas, Oregon, taking a close look at the sustainability efforts undertaken by the leading global supplier of commercial truck and trailer technologies. Merkley's tour, facilitated by ConMet's partnership with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), included a detailed presentation of the foundry's water and aluminum recycling processes which significantly enhance the facility's efficiency.

During his visit, Merkley, a vocal advocate for climate action and transportation electrification, was introduced to ConMet eMobility's nMotion™ TR 160-45 reefer trailer system. This cutting-edge system uses PreSet Plus eHub™ technology to generate power while the vehicle is in motion, storing energy for later use or powering an electric TRU, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions. "We were honored to host Senator Merkley at our Clackamas plant and proud to showcase ConMet's sustainability initiatives, including eMobility's latest innovation," expressed John Waters, President of ConMet.
