Copec launches LNG refueling for heavy-duty trucks in Chile
New Sierra Gorda station adds liquefied natural gas supply to support long-haul transport and mining logistics in northern regions.
Copec has introduced its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling point for heavy-duty transport in Chile, located at its service station in Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta Region. The project expands energy options for long-distance freight, particularly for high-tonnage fleets requiring extended range and operational continuity.
Situated along one of northern Chile’s main logistics corridors, the station is designed to support trucks operating in key sectors such as mining and other industrial activities. The addition of LNG infrastructure provides an alternative fuel option aimed at improving efficiency in demanding transport operations across the region.
The initiative builds on Copec’s previous experience in LNG, reinforcing its capabilities in developing energy solutions for transport and industry.
The Sierra Gorda project reflects a broader trend of diversifying fuel supply in freight mobility, as operators seek options that balance performance requirements with emerging energy strategies. Copec indicated that the rollout supports its efforts to expand infrastructure aligned with the needs of long-haul transport and industrial activity in Chile.
