October 17, 2021. The subsidiary of the TotalEnergies group, AS 24, is expanding its vehicular gas infrastructure in France with the opening of two new compressed natural gas (CNG) and bio-CNG stations in Tours Nord and Poitiers Nord, near from the A10 motorway.
Compatible with all types of vehicles that run on natural gas, the new facilities are equipped with NGV1 and NGV2 connectors and are accessible with the group’s different professional cards. In both cases, the CNG/bio-CNG part complements the existing Diesel/GNR/AdBlue offer.
With the addition of these two new sites, AS 24 now has 12 operational stations in the country. By integrating all the facilities operated by the group’s different brands, the TotalEnergies NGV network in France now has 23 stations in service.
Under its different brands, TotalEnergies plans to open three more facilities by the end of the year. It is expected that during the month of October, the Le Havre station will operate under the motto TotalEnergies Access. In addition to CNG, it will be the first of the group to offer liquefied natural gas (LNG) on French territory.
The following month, in November, a new TotalEnergies filling site will open in Paris. Installed in Porte d’Aubervilliers, near the inner ring road, it will complete a first station inaugurated at the beginning of the year on the Paris ring road.
Scheduled for the month of December, the Niort-La Crèche facility will close the group’s inaugurations in 2021. Operated by AS 24, it will offer CNG and bio-CNG. LNG will also be loaded there in a second phase.
By 2022, a dozen additional stations are already planned.
