The post Trimac acquires California bulk food-grade transportation provider appeared first on Fre Trimac Transportation announced it has acquired bulk food-grade logistics provider California Freight. The post Trimac acquires California bulk food-grade transportation provider appeared first on FreightWaves. Why this matters. Trimac Transportation has bought California Freight, a company that moves bulk food in California. This deal means Trimac now has more capacity for food-grade bulk transport. For ecommerce brands selling food items, this consolidation could impact transit times and transportation costs. If Trimac becomes a dominant player, they might have more pricing power. Brands should watch for potential increases in their landed cost, perhaps by 5-10% if service options narrow. SupliiChain recommends brands proactively assess their current freight contracts and consider diversifying their transportation providers.

Trimac Transportation Launches Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck Pilot in Western Canada

Trimac Transportation launches hydrogen fuel cell truck pilot in Western Canada. Key points. * Trimac is testing a Hyundai Xcient hydrogen fuel cell truck in Alberta. * The pilot aims to evaluate the viability of hydrogen in heavy-duty transport. * Collaboration with AMTA includes training for drivers and mechanics. * Data collected will inform future zero-emission strategies in transportation. Trimac Transportation has embarked on an innovative pilot program in Western Canada, testing the Hyundai Xcient hydrogen fuel cell truck as part of a broader sustainability initiative led by the Alberta Motor Transport Association (AMTA). This collaboration marks a significant step towards integrating hydrogen-powered technology into the heavy transport sector of Alberta, demonstrating a commitment to exploring cleaner fuel alternatives. Abe Masri, Trimac's Manager of Energy Transition and Sustainability, highlighted the importance of this project, stating that it offers a valuable opportunity to assess how hydrogen fuel-cell technology can be effectively utilized in real-world conditions. The pilot program will help Trimac and its partners understand the operational requirements and performance metrics necessary for scaling hydrogen solutions in heavy-duty transport. The AMTA is rotating the Hyundai Xcient among various participating fleets, which allows multiple carriers to gain insights into the truck's performance and operational challenges in commercial settings. This approach ensures that the results will be comprehensive and relevant to the transportation industry. In addition to vehicle testing, the initiative includes practical training for drivers and mechanics to ensure that all stakeholders are well-equipped to handle hydrogen systems. The engagement with Hyundai Global also facilitates discussions among industry players and government representatives, focusing on the future of hydrogen in Alberta's transportation ecosystem. The pilot evaluation is expected to continue into early 2026, providing Trimac with essential data on the hydrogen truck's performance, efficiency, and readiness for full operational deployment. Masri further acknowledged that the successful adoption of hydrogen technology hinges on a supportive infrastructure and collaborative efforts among various stakeholders. This aligns with Trimac's sustainability goals outlined in its 2024 ESG Report, emphasizing fleet modernization and fuel-saving technologies while exploring avenues for zero-emission alternatives. Moreover, Trimac's commitment extends to its involvement in the Alberta Zero Emission Truck Electrification Collaboration (AZETEC), which is working towards commercial testing of hydrogen fuel-cell prototypes. The pilot program is not just a test; it is a foundational step toward establishing a robust framework that supports future zero-emission transportation options, reflecting a broader shift towards sustainability in the industry.
