The Companies JSL and Volkswagen Started Operations with the Fully Fueled Natural Gas Truck for the Logistics Company’s Cargo Transport Operations, Now Focusing on Sustainability and Reducing CO2 Emissions in Activities

The logistics transport company JSL has teamed up with automaker Volkswagen and, this Thursday (06/02), they are already using the 100% natural gas-powered truck in cargo transport operations. This is yet another strategy from the logistics company focusing on sustainability, and over the next few years, it aims to minimize the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide or CO2.

With the energy transition increasingly present in the national market, companies are starting to seek less polluting alternatives in their operations, and now it was the turn of the logistics and transport company JSL to kick off its new sustainability project. This involves the use of a truck from Volkswagen that is completely powered by natural gas, which excludes the use of non-renewable fuels and ensures a significant reduction in the emission of polluting gases during cargo transport operations.

The operations are already underway, and the truck now travels the route from Piracicaba to São Bernardo do Campo, in São Paulo, transporting automotive parts to supply the entire production chain of Volkswagen in the ABC, a journey that was originally made by a diesel truck.

Companies Continue Testing the Use of the Natural Gas Truck, but Results Are Already Quite Positive for Operations

In addition to verifying the best way to use natural gas in cargo transport operations, JSL’s truck is now undergoing autonomy tests and better routes in the region. Thus, the company found that when the vehicle is fueled with a volume of 230 m³ of gas, or about 944 liters, the R 410 can travel about 500 km, thus ensuring a good initial trajectory for the logistics company.

And because this is a bitrem model, it is capable of transporting even more tons of goods. Regarding the initiative, Eduardo Pereira, commercial director of JSL, highlighted in a statement: “To increase efficiency in Volkswagen’s operation, one of our first clients, we aim to prioritize alternative fuels through a 100% gas-powered truck. The initiative is the spearhead of a new operational model that combines logistical optimization with a reduction in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.”

Now, JSL and Volkswagen continue testing the use of the natural gas truck for cargo transport and aim to implement the technology across the entire fleet of goods transport over the next few years, focusing on sustainability within operations.
