Multi-Energy Fueling Stations Coming to Eastern Canada
MONTREAL — Gaz Metro Transport Solutions and La Coop fédérée announced last week a partnership that will see multi-energy service stations built along highways 20 and 401 in Quebec and Ontario.
In addition to pumping liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), the stations will also offer diesel, gasoline, propane, biofuel, and electric terminals.
The first station is expected to open this fall, with five other locations to be built by December 2015.
The public fueling stations will be the first in eastern Canada to pump LNG. They’ll also come with all the regular fueling station fixins’: convenience stores, restaurants, washrooms and free Wi-Fi (where available), noted La Coop, which owns Énergies Sonic and currently operates 185 stations in Quebec.
Roughly 48,000 heavy-duty vehicles travel on highways 20 and 401 between Rivière-du-Loup and Toronto each week.
