Ryder System said this morning that it will train all of its North American maintenance personnel to handle natural gas vehicles – a move affecting more than 6,000 maintenance and service employees across a network of 800 maintenance facilities.
“The program will provide the company’s technician workforce with knowledge of all natural gas vehicle platforms and configurations,” Ryder said.
“Now is an appropriate time to ensure Ryder’s technician workforce at every facility is aware of the basic requirements for servicing the new technology,” Ryder Vice maintenance and quality operations VP Melvin Kirk said in a release.
