New multiple-energy truck station to open in Netherlands

The new PitPoint.LNG site will be the first LNG station at a TOTAL location in the Netherlands.

Total Nederland and PitPoint.LNG have started construction of a new multiple-energy truck station at the new A1 business park in Deventer, the Netherlands. The new LNG station of PitPoint.LNG, planned to be operational December 2020, will be the first LNG station at a TOTAL station in the Netherlands.

Alongside the traditional fuels on offer, this 24/7 multiple-energy station will at first be equipped with two LNG-pumps allowing trucks to fill up at the same time. The site will also feature extra cold LNG especially for Volvo trucks, and a digital display with LNG filling instructions in 11 languages.

As part of TOTAL’s new multiple-energy station where LNG, diesel and AdBlue will be offered, the design of the station is also leaving room for the potential of dispensing hydrogen in the future.

“This project fulfils our objective to grow in low carbon solutions. The transportation sector really needs to become cleaner. We see LNG as the right transition fuel for heavy road transport and it can be used now to start reducing CO2 emissions,” said Director of Mobility & New Energies at Total Nederland N.V., Marja Versleijen.

Total Nederland N.V. coordinates the marketing, distribution and sale of fuels and lubricants in the Netherlands. The company currently has around 350 refuelling stations in the Netherlands.

PitPoint.LNG B.V. is the joint venture of Total Gas Mobility B.V. and SHV Energy B.V., and it focusses on building and operating LNG infrastructure for the automotive and maritime sectors. PitPoint.LNG currently owns and operates five LNG stations for trucks in the Netherlands and Belgium. PitPoint.LNG is also working to develop new LNG service stations for trucks and ships.
