DHL, Food Express, LA Metro Deploy RNG

DHL signed an RNG fueling agreement to receive 100,000 gallons annually over a three-year period to power trucks located in California, Texas and Arizona and lower their emissions.

These are DHL’s first RNG trucks, and the company is testing them as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative fueling option to diesel.

Several other companies also signed agreements with Clean Energy to receive shipments of RNG, including the following:

• Food Express has inked a station build and RNG supply deal for its fleet of 20 heavy-duty Class 8 trucks. The new RNG station will be located in California and will be open to other fleets, as well. The RNG volume for the Food Express trucks is expected to be 3 million gallons over the next 10 years.
• Transit agency  LA Metro extended its contract to continue to fuel its fleet with clean-burning RNG. The agreement will provide five of LA Metro’s stations with an expected 14 million gallons of RNG.
• SalSon Logistics inked a new RNG supply deal to fuel its 15 heavy-duty truck fleet at Clean Energy’s Romeoville, Illinois, station. The agreement will see an anticipated 500,000 gallons of fuel over a five-year period to cleanly fuel and transport goods for its customer, Ikea, in the Chicago area.

“The last quarter has been one of our best periods for RNG sales with deals closing across the board in the heavy-duty truck, transit and refuse markets. This is no better proof that RNG is now a recognized, effective alternative fuel solution that works and continues to satisfy the needs of our longer-term customer as well as gain attention from new customers looking for a clean, alternative to cater to their fueling needs,” said Chad Lindholm, senior vice president at Clean Energy, in a statement.
