Gain starts building first of five CNG stations for C.A.T.

C.A.T., Gaz Métro and U.S. Venture Gain Fuel Canada, broke ground for the first Gain Clean Fuel compressed natural gas station in Québec, Canada.

The station will be located at in the industrial park of Coteau-du Lac and will provide the North American carrier with an alternative fuel to support its growing fleet of CNG trucks. The station will be supplied with natural gas through Gaz Métro’s network.

The opening of the station is planned for this fall, the companies said in a joint statement.

Nearly a third of C.A.T.’s fleet of 350 tractors will be converted to CNG. This station, along with four additional Gain Clean Fuel stations under construction in Toronto, Ontario; Laredo, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina and Scranton, Pennsylvania, as part of the partnership, will be combined with the existing Gain Clean Fuel North American network to provide C.A.T. access to CNG.
