Frito-Lay North America unveiled its inaugural compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Beloit, Wisconsin, and will break ground on seven more public CNG fueling station across the U.S. before the end of 2013, according to a company release. The company will also continue to grow its CNG fleet this year, bringing the total number of its CNG tractors to 208.
Once deployed, the 208 CNG tractors will make up 20% of Frito-Lay's fleet and will be located at 50% of production locations. The fueling stations, to be built by Questar Fueling and Trillium CNG, will provide fuel for these tractors and for other companies currently using or considering alternative fuel vehicles. The new stations—along with three other stations that will be in operation this year—will begin at a total expected annual volume of 2 million gallons and grow to a little more than 8 million gallons in five years.
Trillium will be responsible for building CNG stations in Jonesboro, Arkansas; Orlando, Florida; Charlotte, North Carolina; Rosenberg, Texas; and Perry, Georgia. Questar will be responsible for building stations in Killingly, Connecticut, and Topeka, Kansas.
