They have taken a step further in making your purchase not only convenient, but also more sustainable. By partnering with Neste, Core-Mark’s entire 150+ diesel truck fleet in California is now powered by Neste MY Renewable Diesel, which means these trucks emit no new GHG emissions from the tailpipe, and contribute to cleaner air.

More than 60,000 gallons of Neste MY Renewable Diesel are supplied to Core-Mark each year. The partnership will help Core-Mark reduce at least 445 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Reduced Maintenance Means Less Downtime and More Deliveries

Since switching to Neste MY Renewable Diesel, Core-Mark has achieved a 4% increase in fuel efficiency. Additionally, as renewable diesel runs cleaner in engines, Core-Mark will realize reduced maintenance needs and costs, which is delivering cost savings roughly equivalent to 25 cents per gallon based on Core-Mark’s fleet profile.

“As part of Core-Mark’s Environmental and Climate Change Policy, we are continually seeking practical ways of increasing the efficiency of our fleet while reducing GHG emissions,” Johnston added. “Using renewable diesel fuel presents a tremendous opportunity to live up to that policy.”
