“We are delighted to receive 4,000 brand-new CNG trucks as part of our bold distribution initiative, championing cleaner energy and more efficient transportation across Nigeria and beyond,” the company stated.
The initiative aims to meet Nigeria’s daily demand of 65 million litres of refined petroleum products, including 45 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit, 15 million litres of diesel, and 5 million litres of aviation fuel. With the average logistics cost estimated at N45 per litre, the refinery will cover over N1.07tn annually in free distribution expenses.
The Dangote Group is investing ₦720bn in the acquisition of the CNG-powered trucks and the establishment of nationwide CNG stations. The new CNG fleet, which is about 40% more cost-efficient than traditional diesel tankers, is set to slash logistics expenses and significantly cut out traditional supply chain markups often reflected in pump prices.
The refinery is currently operating at approximately 85% of its 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity, ranking it among the world’s largest single-train refining facilities. The deployment of the CNG trucks is expected to start on August 15, 2025
