With diesel costs rising and carbon regulations tightening, South Africa’s transport sector is under pressure to adapt. Aldworth Mbalati, CEO of DNG Energy, believes the answer lies in a cleaner, more efficient fuel: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Mbalati is championing a nationwide rollout of LNG-powered heavy-duty vehicles, transforming how goods move across the country—from ports to depots, mines to cities.
🚛 LNG Trucks on the Move
DNG Energy has invested in a fleet of dual-fuel and dedicated LNG trucks, which:
- Emit up to 25% less CO₂
- Reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate matter
- Offer lower operational costs than diesel
These trucks are now active on corridors such as:
- Johannesburg ↔ Durban
- Cape Town ↔ Port Elizabeth
- Saldanha Bay ↔ Gauteng
⛽ Fueling Infrastructure
Mbalati’s strategy goes beyond vehicles. DNG has built:
- Mobile LNG refueling stations
- Cryogenic tankers for long-haul supply
- On-site bunkering for large fleet operators
This infrastructure is enabling private fleets and logistics providers to switch fuels seamlessly.
🤝 Partnering with Fleet Operators
DNG is partnering with:
- Retail logistics companies
- Mining transporters
- Municipal waste and public bus operators
The goal? A transition to clean, affordable transport that serves both business and the environment.
🗣️ “We’re Redefining Road Freight”
“Our roads can be powered by cleaner energy without compromising on range or reliability,” Mbalati explains. “LNG is here, and it’s ready to move.”
Thanks to his leadership, DNG Energy is leading the decarbonisation of Africa’s road transport, one truck at a time.
