Clean Energy expands CNG network as Canadian fleets add natural gas trucks
Clean Energy Fuels is expanding its fueling and maintenance agreements across Western Canada as fleets in freight, refuse, logistics, and oilfield services add natural gas trucks. Through partnerships with Tourmaline and growing adoption of Cummins X15N engines, the company is adding fueling access in locations including the cities of Grande Prairie and Chilliwack.
“Canada has a strong business case for natural gas. This is a demanding market, and the Cummins X15N engine closes the technology gap for fleets that haul heavy and put a lot of miles on the truck every year,” said Cody Brookwell, director of sales and business Development at Clean Energy. “High utilization of a predictable fuel that costs 40-50% less than diesel definitely accelerates the environmental benefits and payback on the upfront investment. As we continue to grow our fueling network, we are delivering a compelling value proposition for the industry.”
Several fleets, including Nortrans Freight Management, Mullen Dedicated Logistics, GFL Environmental, and Caron Transportation Systems, are adding Cummins X15N-powered trucks to their operations. Read more…
Teletrac Navman launches Energy Hub to simplify mixed-energy fleet management
Teletrac Navman recently launched Energy Hub within its TN360 fleet management platform to unify energy data from EV charging, fuel systems, and mixed-energy fleets. The solution provides fleet managers with visibility into energy usage, charging status, fuel transactions, costs, and operational trends.
“Fleet operations are becoming increasingly complex as businesses manage the transition to mixed-energy environments,” said Alain Samaha, CEO of Teletrac Navman. “The challenge is no longer simply collecting information but bringing it together in a way that supports better operational decision-making.”
Energy Hub supports configurable alerts, reporting, fuel card integration, and EV charging reimbursement capabilities to help organizations manage energy costs. The solution is available globally within TN360 to help businesses gain a clearer view of their energy ecosystem. Read more…
