ECOLOGIQUE Information

Ecologique is a niche player in road haulage. We operate a fleet of brand-new LNG-powered heavy-duty trucks backed by a two year, two hundred thousand kilometres manufacturer’s warranty. By the year 2025, we will have more than four thousand LNG-fuelled trucks in our fleet. We have a strong management team with local and global experience in road haulage, natural gas markets and logistics digitization technologies. We focus on B2B logistics operations of pre-qualified fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers who share a common philosophy on sustainable business practices. The use of LNG for fuel reduces carbon emissions by at least 30%, NOx by 80%, and eliminates SO2 and PM completely. Given the preponderance of low-grade, high sulphur diesel in Africa, LNG provides a much more much environmentally friendly option. CFOs are now compelled to make provisions for carbon taxes in many countries. For instance, France-based companies are expected to make provisions of 55 Euros per metric tonne. This could amount to about $11,000 per vehicle for a forty-tonne truck that clocks 50,000 km and emits about 201 metric tonnes of carbon per year. Companies can save millions of dollars of carbon taxes by using natural gas fuels. In the coming years, activists, investors and the general public will be paying closer attention to business practices of the biggest and most established manufacturers. It is also expected that there will be closer scrutiny of their overseas operations; particularly in places like Africa and Southeast Asia. Ecologique provides an opportunity for manufacturers to drastically reduce provisions made for carbon taxes
