promoting sustainability within the food and beverage industry.
TWEET THIS: @FoodLogistics names Ryder a Top Green Provider for
the sixth consecutive year.
The list offers logistics professionals a guide to the
providers, manufacturers, and software and technology companies
that have found new ways to promote sustainability throughout their
operations and those of their customers. Ryder’s inclusion on the
list reflects the Company’s leadership in providing thousands of
food and beverage companies – including the top 10 U.S. food and
beverage companies according to FORTUNE – with a full menu of
services including green transportation and logistics solutions to
help them meet their sustainability goals.
Ryder has established a leadership position in offering advanced
vehicle technologies, strengthening the Company’s ability to
provide customers with the most flexibility, choice, and control in
fleet management, as well as innovative solutions to promote
sustainability. In December 2016, Ryder partnered with Nikola Motor
Company to be the sole maintenance and distribution provider in
North America for their Nikola One hydrogen fuel cell semi-truck.
In 2017, Ryder announced that it would be a strategic service
partner with Workhorse Group Inc.’s to support their range-extended
electric light and medium duty vehicle fleet in North America.
These partnerships align with Ryder’s strategic priority to provide
customers with innovative solutions to help them reach their
sustainability goals.
Ryder is also the leader in natural gas vehicles (NGV) solutions
for the commercial transportation industry, with more than 150
million miles of experience, eliminating more than 52,904 MTCO2e of
greenhouse gas emissions and displacing approximately 23.1 million
gallons of diesel fuel with lower emission domestically produced
natural gas. The Company has 21 NGV maintenance facilities and more
than 6,200 NGV-trained maintenance technicians and support
personnel. Ryder also operates Liquefied to Compressed Natural Gas
(LCNG) fuel stations at its Fontana and Orange, Calif., service
locations where the Company has partnered with Clean Energy Fuels
to offer renewable natural gas, the cleanest fuel available
today.
“Ryder is proud to be recognized by Food Logistics for our
commitment to help make advanced vehicle technologies more
affordable and reliable, so more businesses can take advantage of
their environmental and efficiency benefits,” said Ryder President
of Global Fleet Management Solutions, Dennis Cooke. “This
distinction demonstrates that Ryder continues to assist companies
by engineering and operating their supply chains with lower costs,
improved transportation efficiencies, and reduced environmental
impact. We are very pleased that Food Logistics has included us in
the ‘Top Green Providers’ list for the sixth consecutive year, as
we will continue to be committed to providing our customers with
innovative solutions and superior execution.”
Ryder offers source-to-shelf solutions for the food and beverage
industry, including contract packing and labeling, distribution and
inventory management, safety, sustainability, and dedicated
transportation. With Ryder as a trusted partner, companies can
access Ryder’s vast network of vehicles, maintenance facilities
with expert refrigeration technicians, and temperature-controlled
warehousing space, along with the latest in tracking technologies
and best-in-class safety processes.
“The future viability of the world’s food supply chain is
dependent upon our ability to integrate sustainability from farm to
fork,” says Lara L. Sowinski, Editorial Director for Food
Logistics. “Transportation and logistics comprise a significant
part of that supply chain, and we commend those companies in our
industry that embrace their role as environmental stewards, while
raising the sustainability bar for their peers.”
Companies on this year’s “Top Green Providers” list will be
profiled in the June 2017 issue of Food Logistics, as well as
