Odyssey Logistics Adds Natural Gas Tractors to Fleet

Date:

Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corp. (Odyssey), a company that specializes in complex logistics and technology, has ordered two Freightliner Cascadia 113 compressed natural gas (CNG) tractors for its subsidiary, Linden Bulk Transportation LLC (Linden).

“Natural gas powers more than 12 million vehicles on the road today –  and for good reason,” said Bob Shellman, president and CEO of Odyssey. 

“Companies like Odyssey use CNG tractors to reduce smog-forming emissions and pollutants and better align with carbon footprint and sustainability goals,” he adds.

The new CNG tractors strengthen the company’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The tractors are expected to be delivered in the middle of the year and are the first in Linden’s plan to add more natural gas trucks to the Odyssey fleet. Currently, the sustainable fleet includes 21 liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 8 CNG tractors operated by Odyssey subsidiary, RPM Consolidated Services Inc. (RPM). The two Freightliner Cascadia tractors are equipped with Cummins CNG power and an Agility CNG fuel tank. Houston-area Clean Energy has entered into an agreement to fuel Odyssey’s fleet.

Odyssey integrates green initiatives across its organization. In addition to expanding its sustainable fleet, Odyssey has reduced waste and carbon emissions, opened an Engineering Technology Center in Texas, invested in a reuse/recycle program and leveraged its intermodal network to utilize innovative Flexitank technology, helping customers reach corporate sustainability goals and push industry standards.

“Sustainability in this industry is a leading focal point for us and we’re making strides toward a more innovative future through the CNG fleet,” says Michael Salz, president of Linden.

“The fleet shows our customers how important it is that we meet them on values and battle industry challenges, like climate change, head-on through green initiatives like this,” he adds.
