UK: Gasrec adds bioLNG filling station in Cullompton

UK’s major fuel provider for gas-powered commercial vehicles Gasrec is adding a new bioLNG refuelling station in Cullompton. The new gas filling station will be located at Gregory Distribution’s premises, as a result of a collaboration agreement between Gasrec and the logistics business.
Gasrec delivered the skid-mounted facility – used as a temporary solution for fleets exploring the option of bioLNG – straight from frozen food distribution business Reed Boardall, which has recently upgraded to a permanent on-site refuelling station.
“We have installed a pumped mobile refuelling station which we use to seed new locations where we want to get Bio-LNG into an area quickly. The plan is to get a more permanent refuelling station at Cullompton, but the fast-moving nature of this industry requires a flexible approach,” commented on the infrastructure James Westcott, Chief Commercial Officer of Gasrec.
Last year, Gregory Distribution began a trial to test the suitability of Bio-LNG to replace diesel in its fleet of more than 1,000 trucks. The success of that trial has now seen the company make the next move, installing the station at its Cullompton depot.
Gasrec supplies, builds and operates Bio-LNG and Bio-CNG refuelling stations in the United Kingdom.
Founded in the South West in 1919, Gregory Distribution is one of the largest privately owned transport companies in the UK.
