Orangegas expands CNG refueling network and attracts with 1 Euro per kilogram

They are specifically expanding the base network of CNG filling stations suitable for trucks along the interregional transport routes in Germany, OG reports. The company also states that it aims to make it easier for customers in transport and logistics to say goodbye to diesel and switch to alternative fuel. In addition to the 17 stations where a kilogram of bio-CNG is available for 99.9 cents, OG offers the fuel at four other truck stations for 119.9 cents per kilogram. According to the company, it currently operates a total of more than 120 public CNG filling stations in the German network, some of which are also off the main traffic routes. In coordination with regional anchor customers, CNG filling stations are established and operated where there is demand, emphasized German sales manager Achim Wiedey.

“With the truck-suitable expansion of our base network and the very attractive price, we particularly target companies that deploy their trucks on the line.”

The most practical way

OG would fundamentally support every alternative drive, assures Wiedey. But in the foreseeable future, Bio-CNG is the most practical way for commercial vehicles.

“For vans and trucks, Bio-CNG is currently the only alternative drive that can be well integrated into company operations with proven series vehicles and enables 100 percent regenerative mobility nationwide,” emphasizes the sales manager.

Therefore, OG is specifically upgrading the gas station network to be optimally suited for transport companies. The current pricing offer is intended to give an additional impulse to the market.

“We are in daily conversations with our customers from the transport and logistics sectors; we know what matters to our customers,” says Wiedey.

Passing on low prices

Therefore, OG has decided to specifically use the flexibilities created by low purchase prices when restocking quantities to lower prices along the transport routes. However, entrepreneurs and drivers repeatedly emphasize that availability is also crucial for the gas station network. The gas stations in the truck base network are therefore at the top of the priority list in terms of service, says the sales manager.

"Furthermore, we consistently optimize and renew our equipment technology. In doing so, we repeatedly take up suggestions from our customers, for example, to ensure the necessary filling quantities for trucks with optimized controls, larger storage tanks, or more powerful compressors."

Last year, transport companies joined as customers, having converted LNG trucks to CNG – these vehicles are mostly used in line service and are therefore particularly reliant on a functioning infrastructure with low fuel costs. Wiedey sees the fuel Bio-CNG on the rise:
