Clean Energy Becomes First Company to Offer Both CNG and LNG in Texas Triangle and Opens Valdosta, Ga., and London, Ohio, America’s Natural Gas Highway Stations

●

With the opening of the San Antonio, Texas, America’s Natural Gas Highway station, Clean Energy opened the Texas Triangle to natural gas fueling and became the first company to offer both CNG and LNG for this critical goods movement corridor.

●

Epes Transport System, Inc., based in Greensboro, N.C., will deploy heavy-duty natural gas trucks to haul goods for Lowe’s regional distribution center in Valdosta, Ga. Lowe’s recently named Epes “Truckload Carrier of the Year” for best overall service, a distinction Epes continues to strive for, particularly in helping Lowe’s achieve its stated goal to transition all regional distribution center dedicated fleets to natural gas by the end of 2017.

●

This fleet is expected to consume approximately 250,000 DGEs of LNG per year. This represents a greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 448 metric tons per year, the equivalent of removing approximately 90 cars off the road each year.

Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada Orders Additional Vehicles as it Continues Transitioning Its Fleet to Natural Gas

●

Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) ordered 80 new Ford E-450 CNG passenger-lift-equipped vehicles that will be deployed in 2014 for the RTC's ADA Paratransit service.

●

These Paratransit vehicles are forecasted to consume approximately 800,000 GGEs of CNG per year once fully deployed. This represents a greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 1,686 metric tons per year, the equivalent of taking 348 cars off the road each year.

●

Clean Energy operates and maintains the two RTC-owned private fueling stations that support the CNG fleet.

Clean Energy is Awarded Contract to Design, Build and Operate New Private CNG Fueling Station for City of Norwalk, Calif., Transit System

●

Norwalk Transit System (NTS) is transitioning its fleet of 30 vehicles to CNG; with nearly half of their vehicles currently powered by the cleaner-burning fuel.

●

To maintain NTS’ growing fleet of compressed natural gas vehicles, Clean Energy will also modify the fleet’s maintenance facility to be code-compliant for natural gas vehicle maintenance.

●

The current fleet of 14 NGVs is forecasted to consume approximately 150,000 GGEs of CNG per year, which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 316 metric tons, the equivalent of removing 65 cars from the road each year. This volume is expected to double once the fleet is fully-deployed.

Morongo Basin Transit Authority Awards Clean Energy CNG Facility Maintenance Contract for Growing Fleet

●

Serving ten communities, including Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley and Landers, Calif. the Morongo Basin Transit Authority (MBTA) operates a growing fleet of 28 compressed natural gas vehicles which fuel at MBTA’s private CNG fueling station.

●

Converting to an all CNG-powered fleet makes fiscal sense, even for a small agency like MBTA. The agency estimates it saves over $300,000 a year over what it would cost if the fleet was still powered by gas and diesel.

●

This growing fleet consumes approximately 120,000 GGEs of CNG per year, which represents a greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 253 metric tons.
