en.Wedoany.com Reported - Edge, together with Grupo Nimofast and Green Cargo, announced on Wednesday (June 24) the launch of a ten-year GreenTech integrated logistics project with a total investment of 8.3 billion reais, aimed at expanding the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in long-haul road transport in Brazil. The project plans to achieve an operational scale of 2,000 trucks within 24 months, with investments covering equipment procurement, leasing, fuel, and operations, supported by long-term natural gas supply and freight contracts.

In terms of division of responsibilities, Edge acts as the LNG supplier, signing a ten-year supply contract. Green Cargo, as the exclusive representative of JAC Motors' natural gas heavy-duty vehicles in Brazil, is responsible for providing the trucks. Grupo Nimofast, through Interconecta Logística S.A., leads operations and logistics management. Edge will supply LNG via the Santos LNG Regasification Terminal (TRSP) and integrate off-grid delivery logistics for road transport. The agreement also includes certified biomethane from Onebio (biometano certificado por atributo), produced at Edge's purification plant in Paulínia (SP).

The project will be implemented in phases, starting in 2026 with the initial delivery of 60 JAC Motors LNG trucks, with a target of expanding to 160 trucks by the first quarter of 2027, ultimately reaching an operational scale of 2,000 trucks within 24 months. Interconecta will begin operations in Paulínia, connecting major industrial, port, and agribusiness hubs nationwide to build long-haul corridors. The platform will serve shippers of agricultural products, energy, mining, chemicals, and general cargo, and will be equipped with a digital system for emissions monitoring and carbon credit trading.

Edge CEO Demétrio Magalhães stated in a press release that LNG will become one of the main drivers of Brazil's heavy-duty transport transformation in the coming years, and that this project demonstrates the competitiveness, scale, and infrastructure needed to achieve this change already exist.
