Continuing its “first to market” track record with Diesel Exhaust Fluid (“DEF”), TravelCenters of America LLC announced today that all 234 of its TravelCenters of America (“TA”) and Petro Stopping Centers (“Petro”) branded locations are stocked with 2.5 gallon containers of DEF for retail sale. Also, DEF is now available to every one of the 400 RoadSquad emergency roadside assistance
vehicles at TA and Petro locations for trucks who run out of DEF while on the highway. TA and Petro are pleased to be the very first travel centers to offer these containers and to have completed a critical phase in fulfilling the travel center industry’s most comprehensive and flexible DEF supply plan.
The vented bottle style, supplied by Colonial Chemical Company of Tabernacle, New Jersey, will optimize flow speed and includes an extended nozzle for easy dispensing.
TravelCenters announced in May the successful launch of the nation’s first retail DEF bulk dispensing operation at its facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This dispensing equipment was developed by TA in conjunction with Colonial Chemical Company. TravelCenters of America was an early consultant to the truck manufacturing industry on fueling solutions and has been involved in key industry advisory groups since 2003.
