TransJordano Launches Green Corridor with 100 Biomethane-Powered Scania Trucks

Carrier TransJordano has inaugurated the Green Corridor, a project that will put into operation 100 Scania G 460 6x4 trucks powered by biomethane, with a range of around 700 kilometers. The initiative includes the installation of three fueling stations along a route of approximately 450 kilometers between Ribeirão Preto, Sumaré and Cubatão, in the state of São Paulo.

The project was launched on October 7 in Sumaré, where the first fueling station will be located. The Ribeirão Preto and Cubatão units will come online in November and December 2026, respectively. The infrastructure will be operated by GarageLog, a company within the TransJordano Group, and will be available to other carriers, forming a corridor that connects with the Port of Santos region.

Ultragaz, responsible for supplying biomethane to the project, presented a system that allows trucks to be refueled in eight to ten minutes, using an installed electrical capacity of around 40 kVA. According to Erik Trencht, the company's Director of Renewable Gases, this solution compares favorably with conventional compression setups, which can require between 300 and 400 kVA and between 20 and 40 minutes to complete fueling.

With the full fleet in operation, TransJordano estimates covering about 5.5 million kilometers per year using biomethane, equivalent to roughly 17% of its annual mileage, and avoiding approximately 6,486 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, according to indicators subject to independent verification by Bureau Veritas. Joyce Bessa, the company's Director of ESG and Institutional Relations, noted that shipment emissions reports will also be provided to customers to support their own environmental targets.

According to the Brazilian Biogas and Biomethane Association (ABiogás), Brazilian biomethane production grew 75% in 2025, although the expansion of biomethane-powered trucks depends on fueling infrastructure along routes. André Gentil, Fleet Transport Solutions Sales Manager at Scania Brasil, said the lack of fueling stations was one of the main obstacles for the gas-powered truck strategy the automaker has pursued since 2018, while Jordano Bessa, Director of New Business at TransJordano, explained that studies for the project began in June 2025.
