ENGIE is offering the green mobility solutions of its GNVERT subsidiary to assist Carrefour in reducing the environmental impact of its deliveries.
Carrefour and ENGIE are today inaugurating a public natural gas vehicle station at La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis), in the Paris region. Carrefour, the leading French food retailer, and GNVERT, a subsidiary of the ENGIE Group, which for almost 20 years has been the leading company in France for the distribution of alternative fuels, are thus materialising their collaboration in favour of the development of biomethane fuel in the road haulage sector for goods. ENGIE is consolidating its position as leader of mobility solutions, by offering a range of solutions for more fluid, cleaner and smarter mobility.
Pioneers in France, Carrefour and GNVERT, back in 2013, innovated and tested the use of biomethane fuel (Bio-CNG) for the road haulage of goods. Bolstered by the success of the tests carried out, Carrefour has decided to accelerate the deployment of these clean and quiet vehicles with the goal, by the end of 2017, of opening 9 service stations allowing 200 trucks to deliver to 250 urban stores in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux and Lille. The station of La Courneuve is the first to be inaugurated.
