Penske Truck Leasing
announced on October 24 that 370 of its fuelling locations will
supply DEF at the pump by early 2012. The company has already
equipped over 100 locations in North America, but plans to increase
this in response to the high number of Penske trucks using
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
technology.
Vice President Jennifer Sockel said, "We have made this
investment to ensure that our customers have easy access to the
bulk quantities of DEF they need." Sockel confirmed the company is
on track to complete the project by early next year.
There are over 400 Penske Truck Leasing locations providing
fuel, maintenance, truck leasing and truck rental services. The
locations stocking on-island DEF will provide systems ranging from
330 to 2,000-gallons. Additionally, DEF will be available in
non-bulk quantities at all of Penske's locations in North
America.
Penske currently operates and maintains about 25,000 trucks
equipped with SCR technology, which is an increase of over 6,000
since the start of 2011.
