Reduce your emissions and your energy expenditures

Compared to diesel, vehicles running on natural gas can generate savings of up to 30% from day one. In addition to lowering costs, you can reduce your greenhouse emissions by as much as 25% by choosing natural gas. Switching to blue lets your business, your budget and the planet breathe a little better.

Over 100 of our vehicles run on compressed natural gas, part of which comes from renewable natural gas produced by our advanced infrastructure. Like what economies and environment can go hand in hand!

Pierre Sylvestre, President EBI Environnement Inc.

Chart comparing annual fuel costs1 for a truck consuming an average of 34.1 liters of diesel per 100 km. Costs of natural gas correspond to a 100% CNG engine and costs of propane correspond to a hybrid engine (30% propane and 70% diesel). This calculation is based on an annual mileage of 80,000 kilometers.
