Student Transportation of Canada began its transition to biodiesel with FS PARTNERS in 2008 with Simcoe Coach Lines in Sutton and Parkview Transit in Caledon. “Since then, we have been supplying the school bus fleets with high quality biodiesel blends through GROWMARK's distribution channels and expertise,” said Andrew Troyer, FS PARTNERS director of energy. “Biodiesel is a fairly new product to most, but to GROWMARK, biofuels have been a major component of the Energy Division for more than ten years. I guess you could say we are veterans of a new product!”
Over the past two years, STC has continued to expand its cleaner fuel program throughout Ontario. Tom O’Neill, FS PARTNERS energy sales manager says that being involved with STC at the beginning of its push to convert to bio blended fuels gave them the opportunity to get in from the ground up. “What put us ahead of the competition is that we not only provide a quality product, but we also offer flexible services and are available to fuel up anytime of the day or night,” says O’Neill.
Established in 1997, Student Transportation of Canada is the fourth largest provider of school bus transportation services in North America and currently operates 6,300 school vehicles in North America.
This new account with FS PARTNERS will amount to sales of approximately 5.8 million litres delivered each year, resulting in countless reduced emissions and represents a changing mindset and commitment to renewable fuels.
FS PARTNERS Energy division works with Student Transportation of Canada in supplying bio fuels to its school bus fleets in Ontario.
