Financial Advantages

As the cost of diesel fuel continues to fluctuate, business like yours are looking for ways to power their fleets more economically. Alternative fuels are one way to shrink your eco-footprint and save money too. Alternative fuels aren't just easier on the environment. They can be easier on your budget too. For the short term and the long haul.

Whatever your sustainability strategy, Ryder can connect you with the environmental, cost-saving and service benefits of a more efficient transportation operation. And when it comes to driving sustainable efficiencies, we can help you put the total cost-of-fleet efficiencies and financial benefits of alternative fuels to work for you. So you can get on the road to a greener fleet – without the added cost or risk of ownership.

Let Ryder help you:

  • Lower your fuel costs by up to 42 percent1 today
  • Secure predictable pricing for up to seven years out1
  • Optimize your fleet and improve your operational efficiency
  • Reduce costs and improve your level of profit
  • Leverage a domestic source of energy that contributes to energy independence
  • Tap into an alternative fuels infrastructure without the cost or complexity
  • Bring greater total cost efficiencies to your fleet

Financial Benefits of Each Technology

Natural Gas

How can natural gas help you drive a sustainable and cost-effective advantage? Think lower fleet fuel costs. Predictable pricing. Greater operational efficiencies. And a cost advantage that's expected to grow by 50 percent1 over the long term.

Hybrid

Get the best of both worlds with hybrid trucks that combine two power sources to accelerate fuel economy, reduce emissions, cut costs and improve fuel efficiency by as much as 40 percent.

Electric

When it comes to driving a greener transportation strategy, electric vehicles offer key benefits. They cost far less than conventional vehicles to own, operate and maintain. They use no fuel – and generate no emissions. Naturally.

Environmental Advantages

How green is your fleet? Could it be greener? Today more than ever, the focus is on driving a sustainable transportation strategy. And alternative fuels are one way to boost your sustainability quotient. With options like natural gas, electric or hybrid trucks, you can improve fuel consumption, save money and reduce your carbon footprint.

As you consider integrating green technology into your fleet, Ryder offers a suite of eco-friendly solutions to help you reduce CO2 emissions. These solutions also connect you with cost, operational and domestic-source-of-energy advantages for years to come. Together, we can achieve your sustainability goals today — and drive a greener fleet tomorrow. Discover how you can:

  • Implement alternative fuels solutions that contribute to a clean energy future
  • Drive cleaner and reduce your fleet's carbon footprint by up to 25 percent1
  • Flexibly convert your fleet to green when you're ready
  • Rent or lease green vehicles - without the added costs or risks of ownership
  • Invest in a long-term domestic energy source that's abundant

Environmental Benefits of Each Technology

Natural Gas

How can natural gas help you drive a positive difference? Natural gas runs cleaner and can reduce total well-to-wheel carbon emissions by up to 25 percent1. And with no smog-producing particulate emissions, natural gas fleets go a long way toward eliminating air pollution.

Hybrid

Get the best of both worlds with hybrid trucks that combine an internal combustion engine with a battery. With hybrids, you can reduce fuel consumption, recapture waste energy, minimize environmental impact and improve fuel economy by up to 40 percent.

Electric

When it comes to driving a greener transportation strategy, electric vehicles are the original green transportation solution. Because they use no fuel, they run clean, emit no pollutants from the tailpipe and are quieter than traditional trucks.

Long-term certainty advantages

It's one thing to implement a sustainable transportation solution that drives efficiency today. But what about tomorrow? Or five to ten years down the road? While financial and environmental considerations are critical, long-term certainty is key.

If you invest in a particular technology today … will it still be around tomorrow? And what about supply? You want a clean energy source that can keep your fleet on the move – without disruptions in supply. With Ryder, you can tap into all the benefits of green technology without the added cost or risk of ownership. Or worrying about what direction the clean energy future is taking you. With Ryder you can:

  • Tap into an alternative fuels infrastructure without the cost or complexity
  • Power vehicles with a long-term domestic energy source that's abundant and available now
  • Secure long-term contracts for natural gas for up to seven years out.
  • Jumpstart and speed the adoption of alternative fuels vehicles
  • Capitalize on an energy source that's 98 percent produced in North America1 and a supply projected to last a century or more2 (natural gas)
  • Bring much-needed energy security and independence to the commercial transportation sector which consumes nearly 40 percent of oil3

Long-term Certainty Advantages of Each Technology

Natural Gas

With natural gas technology, you can invest in a long-term domestic energy source that's abundant and produced in America. And with predictable pricing, you can minimize uncertainty and save money – today and tomorrow.

Hybrid

Because they combine two energy sources – an internal combustion engine powered by fuel – and a battery-powered motor, hybrid electric vehicles minimize reliance on fossil fuels and shift half the energy burden to electricity, which is abundantly available.

Electric

When it comes to long-term certainty, electric trucks offer a key advantage. They rely completely on electricity, which is an abundant, domestic source of energy. There's no need to worry about rising diesel costs or fluctuations in supply.
