PLS Logistics Services, a leading provider of transportation management, technology and brokerage solutions for industrial shippers announced the results of its 2 nd annual survey of industrial freight carriers on the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered trucks.
Natural gas production is becoming big business in North America. According to the Energy Information Administration, demand for this cheaper, cleaner energy source will drive a steady rise in natural gas usage for years to come – for usage in homes, businesses and industrial plants. The question remains, will LNG vehicles become a significant factor in long-haul freight?
To determine the potential of LNG vehicle use for industrial freight, PLS Logistics Services surveyed senior executives at 100 large industrial freight carriers. PLS survey respondents represent key decision makers at some of the largest industrial trucking companies in the United States.
Highlights from the Survey:
Commenting on the survey results, PLS Logistics Services’ Chairman and CEO Greg Burns noted:
“The results of our latest survey show significant movement within the trucking industry toward adoption of LNG technology. PLS believes LNG has an important role to play as a U.S. energy source, and our future surveys will track adoption rates and attitudes towards this alternative fuel in the future. “
More detailed survey results are available via PLS’ website.
