In a major step toward transforming Nigeria’s energy logistics, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced the arrival of 4,000 compressed natural gas-powered trucks. These vehicles are part of the company’s fuel distribution programme, which is scheduled to officially begin operations on August 15, 2025. The move signals a bold shift toward cleaner energy and more efficient fuel delivery across the country.
The deployment of CNG-powered trucks aligns with global trends in sustainable transportation and reflects Dangote Group’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions in its supply chain. By opting for compressed natural gas over traditional diesel, the refinery aims to cut operational costs while contributing to Nigeria’s broader climate goals.
This development also marks a significant milestone in the refinery’s journey toward full-scale operations. With fuel distribution set to commence in mid-August, the arrival of these trucks ensures logistical readiness and positions the refinery to meet national demand. Industry analysts are watching closely, as this rollout could reshape fuel distribution standards in Nigeria and set a precedent for other energy companies.
As the countdown to August 15 begins, stakeholders across the energy and transportation sectors are anticipating the impact of this initiative—not just on fuel availability, but on the future of green logistics in West Africa.
