This addition will further strengthen Lafarge Africa’s strategy in advancing green mobility and environmental sustainability across its supply chain.

The new CNG station builds on Lafarge Africa’s existing green mobility initiatives such as the Electric Vehicle Truck, CNG Trucks, and Green Depots. With over N100 billion invested in advancing its green mobility strategy, the building solutions company continues its drive toward reducing emissions and optimising the environmental performance of its logistics operations while bolstering the implementation of the federal government’s CNG initiative.

Since 2017, Lafarge Africa has been integrating CNG-powered trucks into its fleet.

Moving with its pioneer status as the first company in the industry to deploy CNG Trucks, the company currently has over 35 per cent of its total fleet running on CNG, with a projection to double its investment by 2025.
