UPS Canada has converted 25 package delivery vans to operate on
CNG – a lower carbon alternative to gasoline. The Clean
Energy-operated CNG fueling station, located near the UPS facility
in London, will provide an anticipated 2,000,000 litres (525,000
gasoline gallon equivalent) of CNG in a multi-year agreement.
Fueling the trucks with CNG will reduce 700 metric tons of
greenhouse gas emissions–the equivalent of planting 11,667 trees,
removing 152 cars from the road, and recycling 281 tons of landfill
waste.
“We are excited by the growing use of CNG in Ontario that will
significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions and result in a
positive environmental impact to reduce local air pollutants,” said
Chad Lindholm, senior vice president, Clean Energy. “UPS has led
the way in sustainable transportation for many years and we’re
pleased to partner with them to expand their clean natural gas
fleet in Canada. We’re pleased that UPS continues the migration of
its package cars to CNG in Canada and applaud their sustainability
efforts.”
“We are pleased to help the medium and heavy transportation
industries that are working hard to reduce emissions,” said Cynthia
Hansen, Executive Vice President & President, Gas Distribution
& Storage, Enbridge Inc. “CNG is a cleaner-burning solution for
fleet and transit vehicles that can immediately reduce emissions by
up to 20 percent as compared to gasoline or diesel while also
reducing fuel costs.”
“CNG is an important part of UPS’s strategy to increase its use
of alternative fuel and reduce our emissions,” said Floyd Bristol,
Vice President of Automotive, UPS Canada. “As a transportation
company, we have a responsibility to put sustainability at the core
of our operations and adding these new vehicles to our growing
alternative fuel fleet in Canada will have a measurable
impact.”
“The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) is a cleaner fuel
choice that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Todd
Smith, Ontario Minister of Energy. “Congratulations to Enbridge
Gas, Clean Energy and UPS Canada on this exciting initiative that
is helping to advance Ontario’s transition towards a lower-carbon
future.”
In further growth of CNG volume in Canada, the City of London
has expanded its natural gas solid waste fleet from six to eight
refuse vehicles, with plans to order more in the near future. Each
waste truck fuels with an expected 19,000 litres (5,000 gallons) of
CNG per year.
