Southern California Gas Co. said it has entered into an additional multimillion-dollar collaboration with Landi Renzo USA for 200 new Ford F-250 service pickup trucks to join its utilities fleet.

The company said the trucks will be converted to run on renewable natural gas.

The service trucks will be outfitted with the latest Landi Renzo Eco Ready equipment, a California Air Resource Board certified ultra-low emissions vehicle system.

Last year, SoCalGas partnered with Landi Renzo USA to convert 200 service trucks to be added to the fleet.

SoCalGas said that with the conversion of an additional 200 new RNG trucks this year through the continued partnership, its fleet is expected to reduce an additional 2,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent, resulting in 44% of SoCalGas' service vehicles running on clean fuels. This is equivalent to removing 1,800 passenger vehicles from California roads for one year.

The additional 200-unit fleet conversion is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
