Dangote Orders 1,000 CNG Tractors for Logistics Expansion
Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote has ordered over 1,000 compressed natural gas (CNG) tractors and semi-trailers from BAIC FOTON to strengthen logistics operations. The order, formalized during a strategic meeting in Beijing on February 25, 2026, marks a significant expansion of the group's fleet. These CNG-powered vehicles will support logistics operations in Nigeria and across Africa, providing reliable transport capacity for infrastructure development and essential services delivery. The vehicles align with Dangote's broader strategy of modernizing logistics and scaling operations to reach $100 billion in scale by 2030.
