Clean Energy and the City of Dallas partner
to develop CNG vehicle fueling facility at Dallas Love Field
— Dallas Mayor, Laura Miller, and Clean Energy founder,
Boone Pickens join in groundbreaking ceremony for new station
today —-Seal Beach, California (April 22, 2004) —
Clean Energy, North America’s leader in clean transportation,
and the City of Dallas have developed a public/private partnership
to construct and operate a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicular
fueling facility at Dallas Love Field. The facility is planned
to promote alternative fuel usage by airport shuttle services
and provide increased availability to the city’s expanding
fleet of CNG-fueled service vehicles. The City of Dallas operates
more than 900 CNG vehicles and plans to expand that number
to 1,200 vehicles by the end of 2004.
"Promoting clean air throughout the Dallas area continues
to challenge our resources," said Laura Miller, Mayor,
City of Dallas. "We are pleased to establish this relationship
with Clean Energy to expand the needed CNG fueling infrastructure
in our city."
The new station, in conjunction with a second station being
built near downtown Dallas, represents a public/private partnership
between the City of Dallas and Clean Energy, leveraging the
city’s funds and taxpayer dollars while helping to benefit
the environment by encouraging clean transportation. The City
of Dallas is providing the land and paving improvements, and
Clean Energy is providing the equipment and installation under
a 10-year operating agreement.
"Our basic business approach in each region we serve
is to work together with local government and public agencies
to develop viable alternative fuel programs," said Andrew
J. Littlefair, President of Clean Energy. "The new Love
Field CNG station is a perfect example of the benefits of
that cooperation."
Clean Energy is the largest provider of vehicular natural
gas (CNG and LNG) in North America with a broad customer base
in the refuse, transit, shuttle, taxi, police, intrastate
and interstate trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets
— with tens of thousands of vehicles fueling at strategic
locations in the United States and Canada. Clean Energy is
a private company whose major shareholders include Boone Pickens,
Terasen Inc. (formerly BC Gas Inc., TSE: TER.TO), Westport
Innovations Inc. (TSE: WPT.TO) and Perseus 2000 LLC. Information
