SUPERVALU Unveils New Natural Gas-Powered Truck Fleet
Food is now arriving at grocery store shelves across the East Coast with a smaller carbon footprint. That’s because SUPERVALU INC., Eden Prairie, Minn., purchased 35 Class 8 Volvo trucks that operate on compressed natural gas (CNG).
The fleet, which operates out of SUPERVALU’s Mechanicsville, Va., distribution center and currently serves approximately 500 grocery stores in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina, is said to be the largest private fleet of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic region.
