Rolande expands LNG filling station with loading facilities for heavy transport: ‘Working on CO2 reduction’

Rolande has expanded its filling station on the Schepersvenweg in Berkel-Enschot, Brabant, with charging facilities specifically aimed at heavy road transport. This is the first time the Tilburg company has brought bio-LNG and electric charging together for sustainable road transport at a single location.
At the Berkel-Enschot location, four charge points have been realised with a capacity of up to 375 kW per charge point. The location is prepared for an expansion to eight charge points, as the necessary cabling, connection capacity and civil infrastructure are already in place. The filling station was opened ten years ago with an offer of bio-LNG and CNG. By now expanding with charging facilities for heavy transport, Rolande says transporters and shippers “can already be serious about CO2 reduction right now”.
Mix
According to ceo Jolon van der Schuit, making heavy transport more sustainable does not require a single solution, but a mix of solutions that work in practice. “With the expansion of this filling station, we show that bio-LNG and electric charging actually reinforce each other. For some applications electric is a logical step, while for many heavy and longer journeys bio-LNG is already an immediately deployable route to substantial CO2 reduction. It is precisely this combination that makes our offering strong.”
Blueprint
Rolande sees the move as a blueprint for making truck fleets more sustainable: one location where various sustainable energy carriers can come together and where transporters and shippers can build on a transition that is both economically and operationally sustainable. According to Rolande, the addition of electric charging thus logically fits in with the company’s existing role as a partner for parties in sustainable heavy road transport who strive for ‘total cost of ownership’, reliability and demonstrable CO2 reduction.
Rolande is an international provider of bio-LNG. A market leader in the Netherlands, the company operates 28 of its own filling stations in Europe and a growing network of partners.
