Reynolds Logistics extends Gasrec deal and adds Volvo LNG tractor units to fleet

Reynolds Logistics has renewed its contract with Gasrec to deliver biomethane from the LNG terminal on the Isle of Grain to refuelling facilities across the UK.

In addition, the haulier has taken delivery of two more ADR specified Volvo FM LNG 6x2 tractor units, taking the number of trucks working exclusively on the five-year contract with Gasrec up to seven – with a further two FM LNG units to follow later in the year.

Paired with Gasrec’s tri-axle cryogenic tanker fleet, the trucks are currently delivering between 25-30 loads of biomethane each week.

That number will rise throughout 2022, with Gasrec planning to open a further three open-access refuelling sites, as well as several more private customer facilities, to meet demand.

Andrew Reynolds, Reynolds Logistics chief executive, said: “With the demand for biomethane as a transport fuel increasing significantly over the past two years, activity on the contract is busier than ever.

“Gasrec has some very ambitious plans in place, and with the new investment with bp secured, the future looks exciting.”
