Ryder, Staples Adding 10 CNG Tractors

Ryder System and Staples Inc. will add 10 heavy duty compressed natural gas tractors to Ryder’s fleet serving the office-products retailer.

The CNG tractors, the first to be used in Staples’ third-party operations, will replace 10 standard diesel-powered units, the companies said.

The rigs were made available through Ryder’s natural gas vehicle project agreement with the San Bernardino Associated Governments in Southern California.

Ryder is ranked No. 12 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
