CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. (“CEMEX”) announced that it has incorporated more than 200 natural gas-powered trucks with lower carbon emissions as part of a comprehensive strategy to decarbonize its global fleet. This initiative is part of its flagship Future in Action program to become a net zeroCO2 emissions company by 2050.

The investment in these 200 new vehicles consists mainly of concrete mixer trucks with compressed natural gas (CNG) engines, with lower emissions, or renewable natural gas (RNG). These trucks will have a carbon footprint of approximately 25% less than a diesel truck being replaced.
