Eastern Propane puts environmentally friendly truck into service

ROCHESTER — Eastern Propane and Oil, a full-service propane and oil company serving New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont, is pleased to announce the most recent addition to its delivery fleet — the Freightliner S2G Propane-Powered propane delivery truck.

Due to their long history of using propane to power their fleet, Eastern was chosen to test one of just 25 S2G trucks introduced in the country. Additionally, Eastern was the first company to place one in service. The S2G Propane-Powered truck features Freightliner’s newest and most advanced technology, allowing the vehicle to operate at full capacity with reduced emissions when compared to a traditional gas or diesel powered engine.

“We are very excited about this addition to our fleet and plan on adding five more S2G trucks within a few months,” said Mike Gagne, fleet manager at Eastern Propane and Oil.

Eastern debuted their new, S2G Propane-Powered Bobtail at the Northeast Propane Show in early August. The environmentally friendly, propane-fueled delivery truck is the only one in the area and garnered a tremendous amount of industry interest. 
Gagne indicated that the truck will undergo rigorous testing by Eastern and will travel to all of their locations to deliver fuel. As part of the testing, Eastern is required to document performance metrics and share with Freightliner.

Eastern specializes in propane-based energy solutions, and much of their fleet is powered by propane which is comparable in power to gasoline and diesel, cheaper to fuel and cleaner for the environment.

Lower operating costs and reduced emissions show the versatility of propane, making it an ideal solution for more than just heating needs.
