Bolloré Logistics USA releases its first renewable natural gas truck

Bolloré Logistics USA has launched its first renewable natural gas truck at its Coppell, Texas, facility in July 2022 to strengthen its sustainable logistics initiative.

September 11, 2022. Bolloré Logistics USA has launched its first renewable natural gas (RNG) truck at its Coppell, Texas, facility in July 2022 to strengthen its “sustainable logistics” initiative. Two more RNG trucks were received in August and the fourth one is expected early 2023. The three trucks received in 2022 will cover approximately 500,000 miles per year across Texas, saving 10 tons of CO2 per year compared to diesel trucks.

The company partnered with Jetco, a Gulf Coast-based company owned by The GTI Group and U.S. EPA SmartWay member with strong environmental and social commitments. Jetco notably invested in four compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks from the Freightliner brand to be operated in conjunction with Bolloré Logistics in Texas.

A CNG truck reduces “Well-to-Wheel” (WTW) greenhouse gas emissions from 5% to 16% according to various studies. However, Bolloré Logistics is going one significant step further, ensuring that the fueling will come from RNG sources.

“As the need for sustainability continues to grow, having low carbon impact transportation plans becomes more critical for road freight. Bolloré Logistics is actively pushing with its partners to invest in more sustainable trucking solutions. We are very excited about our partnership with Jetco that will enable us to add four RNG trucks to our service offering,” said Darian Smith, Hub Manager for the Coppell facility.
