With the Acquisition of New Scania Vehicles, the Carrier Reiter Log Now Has One of the Largest Gas Truck Fleets in Brazil

The carrier Reiter Log purchased 124 gas-powered trucks from Scania. According to the Swedish manufacturer, the carrier from Nova Santa Rita, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is investing over R$ 100 million. Thus, the company aims to meet customer goals in ESG policies. That is, of Environmental, Social, and Corporate governance, which includes reducing pollutant emissions.

According to Scania, the 124 trucks are R 410 tractors. As per the planned schedule, the first deliveries will occur in the last quarter of 2021. Therefore, all models will be operational throughout 2022. According to Silvio Munhoz, Scania’s Solutions Sales Director in Brazil, it is a “very” logistic operator. “And it is joining shippers in the search for a more sustainable sector. A serious commitment that guides all the company’s actions,” he states.

According to Reiter Log, with the acquisition of the new gas-powered trucks from Scania, such actions aimed at using alternative energy began in 2014. Thus, the investment goes beyond the purchase of gas trucks. That is, among the measures is the purchase of larger road implements. This way, it increases the load transported by trailers. “We have made a commitment to offer a new way of transporting,” says Reiter Log’s CEO, Vinícius Reiter Pilz. According to him, one of the objectives is to reduce the sector’s environmental impacts.

The Carrier Also Plans to Produce Its Own Gas

Furthermore, the company is studying the production of fuel for the new trucks acquired from Scania. “In this sense, we entered into an agreement with GEO Energética,” says the executive. GEO Energética is one of the leading developers of solutions for biogas production in the country. That is, derived from organic waste from the agricultural sector.

According to the company’s CEO, Alessandro Gardemann, the product can replace natural gas generated from fossil sources. “Thus, we provide a clean solution for transportation,” he says. The new trucks will operate in the Southeast and South regions and are expected to travel about 10,000 km per month.

Scania has just announced the sale of 39 gas trucks to TransMaroni. TransMaroni now has 50 gas-powered trucks (natural and/or biomethane) from Scania and makes history in national transportation with the largest fleet ever acquired of this alternative to diesel. With this deal, Scania has sold a total of 150 gas trucks in Brazil.

The carrier is initiating a new positioning that prioritizes sustainability, completing an investment cycle of R$ 50 million in various actions in this area, not just related to this purchase. Scania, which leads the transition to a more sustainable transport system, has reached the milestone of 150 trucks with this technology since sales began in October 2019. TransMaroni acquired the first 11 units from Scania in October 2020. With the product’s performance and the visibility generated by new businesses, the company decided to buy other smaller batches, totaling 39 more units ordered. In total, the company reached the historic volume of 50 gas trucks.

The majority of the gas trucks that the carrier purchased from Scania had already entered the 2021 production schedule, and the latest units are having their delivery times negotiated. The Scania trucks will be used in the food, retail, hygiene and cleaning, cosmetics, and e-commerce segments in various Brazilian states.
