Ryder Named to Food Logistics’ Top Green Providers List for 2017



For the sixth consecutive year, Ryder was named one of the “Top Green Providers” by Food Logistics. The annual list recognizes companies whose products, services or exemplary environmental stewardship is promoting sustainability within the food and beverage industry.

The list offers logistics professionals a guide to the providers, manufacturers as well as software and technology companies that have found new ways to promote sustainability throughout their operations and those of their customers. Ryder’s inclusion on the list reflects the company’s leadership in providing thousands of food and beverage companies – including the top 10 U.S. food and beverage companies according to FORTUNE – with a full menu of services including green transportation and logistics solutions to help them meet their sustainability goals.

Ryder has established a leadership position in offering advanced vehicle technologies, strengthening the company’s ability to provide customers with the most flexibility, choice and control in fleet management, as well as innovative solutions to promote sustainability. In December 2016, Ryder partnered with Nikola Motor to be the sole maintenance and distribution provider in North America for its Nikola One hydrogen fuel cell semi-truck. In 2017, Ryder announced that it would be a strategic service partner with Workhorse Group to support its range-extended electric light and medium duty vehicle fleet in North America. These partnerships align with Ryder’s strategic priority to provide customers with innovative solutions to help them reach their sustainability goals.

Ryder is also the leader in natural gas vehicles (NGV) solutions for the commercial transportation industry, with more than 150 million miles of experience, eliminating more than 52,904 MTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions and displacing approximately 23.1 million gallons of diesel fuel with lower emission domestically produced natural gas. The company has 21 NGV maintenance facilities and more than 6,200 NGV-trained maintenance technicians and support personnel. Ryder also operates Liquefied to Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) fuel stations at its Fontana and Orange, CA, service locations where the company has partnered with Clean Energy Fuels to offer renewable natural gas.

“Ryder is proud to be recognized by Food Logistics for our commitment to help make advanced vehicle technologies more affordable and reliable, so more businesses can take advantage of their environmental and efficiency benefits,” said Dennis Cooke, Ryder president of Global Fleet Management Solutions. “This distinction demonstrates that Ryder continues to assist companies by engineering and operating their supply chains with lower costs, improved transportation efficiencies, and reduced environmental impact. We are very pleased that Food Logistics has included us in the ‘Top Green Providers’ list for the sixth consecutive year, as we will continue to be committed to providing our customers with innovative solutions and superior execution.”
