Ryder System and Clean Energy Fuels have formed partnership for Ryder to switch the fuel at their stations in Orange and Fontana, CA, to Clean Energy’s Redeem renewable natural gas (RNG).
Redeem by Clean Energy is a renewable natural gas vehicle fuel, often referred to as biomethane. It is the cleanest fuel commercially available today, according to company officials.
Ryder provides natural gas vehicle solutions for the commercial transportation industry. Ryder helps customers transition their fleets to cleaner fuels. It operates both CNG and LNG vehicles supported by 34 Clean Energy locations.
By making the switch to Redeem, Ryder is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 6,300 metric tons per year using current fuel volumes. This would be the equivalent of removing approximately 1,319 passenger cars from the road annually.
The fuel at the two stations will be available in both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to individual and public fleet vehicles.
As part of the fuel agreement, Clean Energy also will be providing fuel station maintenance services at Ryder’s natural gas fueling stations in Fontana and Orange, CA.
“After launching Redeem as a commercial fuel just two short years ago, Clean Energy is on track to deliver over 40 million gallons this year,” said Harrison Clay, president of Clean Energy Renewables.
“Ryder’s leadership to provide Redeem at their two stations in southern California will now expand the benefits of the cleanest fuel to Ryder commercial customers’ fleets operating hundreds of additional heavy duty trucks and other vehicles,” Clay added.
