Ron Huibers, Volvo Trucks’ senior vice president, stated, “Localized or closed-loop operations present a great opportunity for companies to utilize our nation’s abundant domestic supply of natural gas.”
“Volvo is already delivering the cleanest trucks in the world in terms of regulated emissions, and now we are offering an alternative fuel option to move our nation’s goods while emitting less CO2,” he added.
The truck maker recently delivered its first 10 natural gas-powered VNM daycabs to Talon Logistics, Inc., the transportation division of Giant Eagle, Inc., a multi-format food and fuel retailer. Talon also received Volvo’s first delivery of EPA 2010-certified trucks in November 2009.
