Pacer adds LNG Trucks to Southern California operations
Pacer International, Inc., the North American freight transportation and logistics services provider, has announced that it is adding a number of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-powered trucks to its Southern California Cartage fleet. The trucks will operate through Pacer’s cartage subsidiary, Pacer Cartage, Inc.
LNG-powered trucks are estimated to produce 33% less nitrogen oxides and 20% less greenhouse gas emissions than diesel-fuelled trucks. Pacer will be testing the LNG trucks‘ operational capabilities to determine continued deployment of LNG trucks.
The LNG truck testing programme is a continuation of Pacer’s commitment to reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. More than 300 clean diesel tractors have been deployed in Southern California to support local cartage operations.
"We believe that the use of clean tractor technologies for our cartage operations is the right decision for our customers, the environment, and our company. We are excited to test the benefits of this new technology in our cartage operation," said Val T. Noel, President, Pacer Cartage.
