Ryder website to allow fleet owners to learn benefits of natural gas

Taking advantage of the benefits provided by natural gas vehicles, Ryder System recently announced the launch of its new website ryder.com/alternativefuels, where trucking companies can learn about tools and training to implement the use of natural gas.

The new website will allow for better fleet management among fleet owners and trucking companies that are opting to use natural gas. The website will also include a Fuel Cost Savings Calculator, which will allow fleet owners to see how much money they will save by using natural gas-powered vehicles.

"The enhanced alternative fuels website demonstrates Ryder's commitment to innovation by making compelling information about the cost-saving and environmental benefits of natural gas vehicles easily accessible to customers, fleet owners, and the general public," said John Gleason, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Fleet Management Solutions.

According to Bloomberg, in a recent address to an audience at the Daimler Trucks North America plant in Mount Holly, North Carolina, President Barack Obama proposed tax credits to companies that plan to use natural gas, to protect against rising oil costs in the United States.
