In 2021, construction on the new 59,000 square-foot Martin Brower facility in Nancy, France was completed. This project was awarded France’s HQE (High-Quality Environmental) Certification based on the principles of sustainable development. Specifically, it was built using innovative installations with respect for our planet at the forefront of planning such as:<ul><li>LED lighting</li><li>high-performance cooling installations with Transcritical CO2 technology and low air speed ventilation.</li></ul>

Martin Brower is the only business unit in the Reyes Family of Businesses with a global reach, delivering +720 million cases to 18 countries. Outside of the U.S., Martin Brower has 48 distribution centers in Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, South Korea and Southeast Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand.

Nancy operates as one of eight Martin Brower - France distribution centers that together deliver +64 million cases to over 1,500 McDonald&#039;s restaurants throughout the entirety of the country. The local Nancy team of 51 employees delivers +5.1 million of those cases to approximately 135 restaurants.

Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TSX: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/TOU">TOU</a>) (“Tourmaline”) and Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/clne">CLNE</a>) (“Clean Energy”) announced today the opening of two new compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in Alberta, marking a key milestone in their continuing efforts to build Western Canada’s first commercial-grade public CNG fueling network. The new locations in Calgary and Grande Prairie, along with the Edmonton station which opened in April 2023, establish a crucial transportation corridor for trucking companies converting their fleets from diesel to CNG. Powering long-haul trucks and other fleets with CNG results in lower emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter compared to traditional diesel-powered vehicles.

The $70 million Joint Development Agreement between Tourmaline and Clean Energy was announced in April 2023, along with their commitment to build up to 20 CNG fueling stations across Western Canada in the next five years. In just over a year, their customer base has grown to nine market-leading companies that have already collectively displaced two million litres of diesel by utilizing CNG technology.

Cummins, one of the world’s leading engine manufacturers, has recently introduced its X15N natural gas engine into the Canadian and U.S. heavy-duty truck market. Trucks with pre-production models of the X15N were tested by some of the most demanding fleets over the last year including Walmart, Werner, Knight Swift, FedEx Freight and UPS. It was found to deliver diesel-like ratings as well as durability and  reliability to allow fleets to significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter without sacrificing capability. Mullen Group Ltd., (Mullen Group), the first company to support the Tourmaline and Clean Energy initiative, plans to leverage the new X15N engine as it prepares to nearly double its fleet of CNG-fueled trucks.

Once complete, the 20-station network could fuel up to 3,000 natural gas-powered trucks daily. Construction on the next CNG fueling station is set to begin in Kamloops, B.C., with Fort McMurray and Fort St. John to follow. The CNG stations are also equipped with the same infrastructure needed for renewable natural gas (RNG), making for a streamlined transformation when RNG becomes more readily available in Canada.

The expanding network of fueling stations represents a significant diesel displacement opportunity by providing a reliable source of compressed natural gas (CNG) for long-haul trucks and other fleets.
