Lowe's Transitions to Natural Gas Trucks

For more than a decade, Lowe's has worked with carriers and environmental partners to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and fuel costs while promoting responsible transportation practices across the industry.

We expanded those efforts in 2013 by launching a dedicated fleet of natural gas-powered trucks at our regional distribution center in Mount Vernon, Texas. The dedicated fleet is among the first serving a major retail distribution center in North America to run solely on natural gas, a cleaner and more economical alternative to diesel fuel. With the transition from diesel, we expect to reduce greenhouse gas emissions nearly 20 percent and cut fuel costs.

Natural gas trucks are now active at Lowe's distributions centers in seven states. Our goal is to replace all of our diesel-powered dedicated fleets with natural gas trucks by the end of 2017. For more on Lowe's responsible transportation practices, visit http://responsibility.lowes.com/.
