France: Primagaz-Avia roll out new LNG/CNG station in Britanny

The partnership eyes the creation of 20 gas filling stations in France by the end of 2021.

The Primagaz-Avia partnership continues expanding its network of gas filling stations in France with the opening of a new LNG/CNG filling station in Vern-sur-Seiche, Britanny region.

With plans to jointly set up a network of 20 gas filling stations in the country by the end of 2021, the new location adds to the partners’ recent openings in Fontenay le Comte, Fretin, and Niederhergheim.

According to Breizh [bio]GNV, Vern-sur-Seiche station will provide 24h service and will be accessible to the general public, including LNG/CNG-powered road hauliers.

"With the steady opening of new NGV stations, we are effectively pursuing the path set out by the Primagaz Next business model, whose objective is to contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of energy and to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040. To this end, NGV is a key step towards a decarbonised France, one that will enable us to gradually move towards BioGNV by 2025", explained Chairman and CEO of Primagaz, Matthieu Lassalle, on the occasion of the opening of the three previous stations this summer.

Groupe Aubrée Garages will soon be opening a truck wash centre at the Vern-sur-Seiche location.
