FST Logistics, Columbus, Ohio, and U.S. Oil, an Appleton, Wis.-based division of U.S. Venture, Inc., partnered in the development of a GAIN Clean Fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) re-fueling station in Hilliard, Ohio, to service its recently purchased fleet of CNG trucks. The public-access, fast-fill station located on interstates I70 and I270 will feature two dual-hose CNG dispensers.
“Our research showed this was the ideal location for us. We can tap into the major natural gas supplier in Columbus and the bulk of our trucks run through or very near this location on a daily basis,” says Dave Kent, president of FST Logistics. “As we look toward future expansion, we feel very comfortable going 100% CNG.”
The lower CO2 emissions and the fuel-cost savings over diesel makes the decision to convert vehicles to CNG fuel an easier one.
