Neste announced Dec. 15 it has opened two new fueling stations in central California, providing greater accessibility to Neste MY Renewable Diesel. The number of Neste MY Renewable Diesel fueling stations in California has more than doubled since 2019. The company’s ambition is to create a “green fueling network” across the West Coast.
The fueling stations are open 24/7 and offer a seamless and quick customer experience, according to Neste. They are strategically located near major commercial freight routes and are designed to accommodate commercial fleet vehicles of all sizes. The new cardlock locations are operated by Neste’s authorized distributor, Van De Pol Petroleum, increasing the company’s geographical footprint. The sites take Pacific Pride Cardlock Cards and are located at:

Lodi: 351 Beckman Road
Each location is regularly supplied with Neste MY Renewable Diesel, a low-carbon fuel produced from 100% renewable and sustainable raw materials that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to petroleum diesel. The two new fueling stations join eight existing Neste-branded fuel stations in San Leandro, San Jose, Keyes, Ripon, Wasco, Buttonwillow, and Shafter. Neste has created a resource page to find a nearby fueling station and a certified Neste MY Renewable Diesel distributor.
“Intensified by climate change, wildfires in California have taken lives, upended whole communities, and are on track to cause $10 billion in damages,'' said Carrie Song, vice president for Renewable Road Transportation in North America. “This is unacceptable and shows the urgent need for California to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its transport system. Our goal is to give fleet operators an easy choice: Keep running your vehicles on fossil diesel and contribute to a climate catastrophe, or switch right now to renewable diesel and help fight climate change and pollution.”
Neste’s fuel has already played a major role in the Golden State’s low carbon fuel standard, replacing more than 1.6 billion gallons of fossil diesel, the equivalent of taking up to 3.9 million cars off the road per year, according to the company.
Neste MY Renewable Diesel is a California Air Resources Board compliant drop-in replacement fuel that’s compatible with all diesel engines and can be integrated into all diesel fuel infrastructures at no extra cost. Many well-known engine makers certify the use of renewable diesel in their engines. CARB has a certified pathway for renewable diesel and has recommended Neste My Renewable Diesel as a CARB replacement.
As public agencies work to cut emissions from off-road operations, fleets are turning to a mix of renewable fuels, hybrid systems, battery-electric equipment and emerging hydrogen technology.
RoadFlex expands its fueling network for public sector fleets through a new partnership with Refuel, adding more than 250 locations across the Southeastern U.S. to improve access, savings, and efficiency.
Fuel management can become a tricky obstacle, but smart strategies and new tech have turned it into a well-oiled machine where price prediction is art, and cost control is science.
A major point of debate in fleet management is using diesel vs. gas cars and trucks. Choosing to purchase gasoline engines instead of diesel ones for medium-duty trucks may be an unpopular decision, but is it the right one?
On-site fueling has its pros and cons, and even if it seems like the best option for the fleet, there are still two big obstacles to overcome: getting the stamp of approval and basically everything pertaining to the infrastructure.
