The Fleet Technology Expo is a new event that is an expanded and
revamped version of the Green Fleet Conference & Expo, put on by the
publishers of Automotive Fleet, Heavy Duty Trucking (HDT),
Green Fleet, and Work Truck magazines and is designed for
fleets across industries looking to improve operational efficiencies.
During the event, Ryder was recognized for its significant contributions
to environmental sustainability and fleet efficiencies in the heavy-duty
industries.
“This latest recognition reinforces Ryder’s ongoing commitment to assist
companies that seek to reduce fuel costs, lower carbon output, and meet
their environmental objectives,” said Scott Perry, Ryder Vice President
of Supply Management and Global Fuel Products. “Ryder plays an important
role in advancing the environmental sustainability of commercial
transportation and logistics. When companies outsource their
transportation and logistics operations to us, they not only get cost
efficiency, but also the benefits of our environmental expertise,
infrastructure, and industry leading partnerships.”
Ryder is the leader in natural
gas vehicle solutions for the commercial transportation industry,
with more than 40 million miles of experience, 18 NGV maintenance
facilities, and more than 4,000 NGV trained maintenance and service
employees. In addition to making natural gas vehicles available for rent
or lease, Ryder’s exclusive “Flex-to-Green
Lease” solution is designed to encourage and ease the transition to
a greener fleet. Ryder’s Flex-to-Green Lease enables companies to
benefit from today’s diesel technology now and gives them the
flexibility to switch to natural gas when conditions meet the customer’s
needs. Businesses interested in NGVs that are not quite ready, can start
out with a diesel-powered vehicle and then have the option to convert to
an NGV at any time following the first full year of the lease.
Flex-to-Green customers enjoy all the maintenance and service benefits
of a standard Ryder Full
Service Lease, which may include substitute vehicles during
unexpected downtime.
Ryder, founded in 1933, operates behind the scenes, managing critical
transportation and logistics functions for more than 50,000 customers,
many of which make the products that consumers use every day. The
Company employs more than 30,000 people, manages a fleet of more than
216,000 commercial vehicles, and operates over 35 million square feet of
warehouse space.
