TDIndustries switches to CNG due costs and environment

TDIndustries (TD) will launch a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Pilot Program in an effort to cut operating costs, improve air quality, increase efficiency and utilize the abundant natural gas resources in Texas.

The program will use CNG-powered vehicles to perform daily Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) service operations. The construction company currently has an operating fleet of almost 400 vans. TD hopes that by switching to CNG they will emit fewer greenhouse gases, and have lower refuelling and maintenance costs.

“Natural gas is an abundant resource in Texas that will help drive our state’s future. We need to lead by example, as we get more involved with construction and providing service for CNG fueling stations and other energy related projects,” said Jason Cinek, Senior Vice President at TDIndustries.

This pilot program will guide TDs in determining the feasibility of natural gas vehicles, the availability of CNG fueling stations and how a fleet powered by natural gas can meet their operational needs, according to TD.
