Advancing Sustainable Concrete Delivery

We are proud to announce the addition of Canada’s first fully Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Ready Mix trucks to our fleet. This addition builds on our experience operating CNG vehicles in our Environmental Services team, and we are now bringing this sustainable innovation to Tomlinson Ready Mix to support the evolving needs of the construction industry.

Our new CNG Ready Mix trucks are designed to meet the demands of concrete delivery while helping reduce emissions and noise levels.

Why CNG for Ready-Mix?
  • Lower emissions than traditional diesel trucks
  • Quieter and cleaner operation, which can be beneficial on urban and residential job sites
  • Proven technology already operating successfully across our fleet
  • Supported by our CNG fueling stations, including the public fast-fill station on Moodie Drive in Ottawa
  • Supporting a more sustainable construction industry

“We see the shift from diesel to CNG as one way to help reduce our carbon footprint and lower the global warming potential (GWP) of our concrete mixes. This initiative supports our ongoing work to improve our E-Line Enviro Low-Carbon concrete.” Ryan Andre, Quality Control Manager, Tomlinson Ready Mix

This launch is a part of our broader efforts to reduce emissions across our operations. Applying CNG technology to ready-mix concrete delivery is one practical step in that work.

As our CNG fleet expands, we remain focused on practical ways to support lower-emission construction, waste, and transportation services.

On the road towards carbon neutral.
