Reysaş Lojistik won Green Logistics Award with the trucks which are converted by Naturelgaz

Reysaş Lojistik, which carries out its operations both locally and internationally with over 1,500 vehicles, won “Green Logistics Award” at International “Logistics Project Competition”. Reysaş’ CNG conversion cooperation with Naturelgaz has been one of the critical factors in winning this prestigious award.

Zafer Çağlayan, the minister of Economy delivered the award to Reysaş, the winner of the annual “Logistics Projects Competition”. Presenting the award to Rasih Boztepe, the Vice Chairman of the Board at the opening of Sixth Mersin Logistics and Transport Fair, Mr. Çağlayan emphasized the importance of CNG conversion for trucks and other heavy commercial vehicles in an ecological approach.

Naturelgaz has already successfully completed the conversion of 30 Mercedes Axor trucks along the “Gas Sales and Vehicle Conversion” contract with Reysaş Lojistik, and plans to expand on the conversion numbers in 2014 has been influential in Reysas’ success in the competition.

Project Conversion Target: 200 vehicles

Within the framework of the CNG conversion and gas supply agreement between Naturelgaz and Reysaş Lojistik, Project Conversion Target has been defined as 200 vehicles. According to the operational data from the first 30 converted trucks, Reysaş has achieved significant savings on fuel expenses as compared to diesel. Furthermore, CNG conversion of 200 trucks has enabled an annual decrease of 33,725 tons in greenhouse gas emissions. As such, contributing to Reysaş’ eco-friendly stance, Naturelgaz continues to build on its environmentally-friendly performance. Truck conversion will expand in parallel to the growth in CNG refueling station infrastructure with Naturelgaz expecting to convert 80 Reysaş trucks in coming period.
