Nancy Getter, the Associate Director of Global Logistics at
Procter & Gamble (P&G); Doug Watne, Director of North American
Transportation at General Mills, Erik Neandross, a clean energy consultant for
Frito-Lay, and Dave Warren, the President of Dart Transit Company, all spoke on
a panel at CSCMP a few weeks ago about using natural gas trucks for a larger
portion of their shipments.
P&G has 800,000 annual shipments over 8,000 lanes in
North America. They have a small dedicated fleet; mostly they work with
carriers. Their goal is to have 20 percent of their shipments provided by
compressed natural gas (CNG) equipment by June of 2013. They work with 80
carriers in North America, 11 of those carriers run some part of the fleet with
natural gas trucks. They are signing one to two year contracts for one way
deliveries (no back hauls) with carriers that have natural gas equipment. Read more.
