Dallas-based GreenPath Logistics (GPL) announced plans today to double the size of its alternative fuel fleet and hire up to 200 new employees this year to support its growth, according to a news release.
According to the release, GPL is deploying 15 to 20 new vehicles in its fleet each month, rolling out fully electric powertrain commercial trucks in early 2023 through a partnership with Cedar Park-based Hyliion Holdings Corp.
The company said the increase would help customers reduce carbon emissions by up to 85%.
“We are seeing more Fortune 500 companies interested in ‘green’ transportation solutions as they look for strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve their ESG scores,” Shan Zaidi, president of NGV Global Group, said in the release. “Our business has grown exponentially in the past year, with daily customer shipments increasing by 900% since 2021. We are committed to deploying the latest technologies in our fleet to ensure that we are providing a variety of reliable, cost-effective and sustainable transportation solutions to meet the unique needs of each customer.”
In November 2021, GPL opened a Houston location and added 140 new positions last year to support its expanding service area into Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico.
