Edge, Compass's gas company, announced this Wednesday (24) the launch of a road transport platform powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). The initiative has partnered with Nimofast, specialized in fuels and logistics, and Green Cargo, JAC Motors' representative for gas-powered trucks in Brazil. The project foresees the creation of an integrated structure for the supply and operation of heavy vehicles powered by LNG, focusing on expanding the use of lower carbon-intensive fuels in road freight transport. According to the companies, Edge will be responsible for supplying the fuel from the Santos Regasification Terminal (TRSP). The LNG will be distributed via road logistics in an off-grid model, i.e., outside the traditional gas pipeline network. The contract signed between the parties has a term of ten years. In addition to liquefied natural gas, the project includes the gradual incorporation of biomethane produced by Onebio, a company controlled by Edge located in Paulínia (SP). The operation will begin in 2026 with a fleet of 60 JAC Motors trucks adapted for LNG use. Green Cargo will be responsible for supplying the vehicles, while Nimofast will manage the logistics operation through Interconecta Logística SA.
