FORTUNE – with a full

solutions to help them meet their sustainability goals.

Clean Energy Fuels to offer renewable natural gas, the cleanest fuel
available today.
“Fleets within the food and beverage industry continue to select Ryder’s
NGV lease offering to mitigate many of the unknowns around uptime,
maintenance, performance, fueling, and residual values,” said Ryder
President of Global Fleet Management Solutions, Dennis Cooke. “This
latest recognition reinforces Ryder’s ongoing commitment to assist
companies by engineering and operating their supply chains with lower
costs, improved transportation efficiencies and reduce environmental
impact. We are very pleased that Food Logistics has included us
