In increasing numbers, major U.S. contract freight carriers are deploying heavy-duty natural gas-powered trucks to support their customers’ supply chain transport requirements, and America's Natural Gas HighwayTM—Clean Energy’s national network of LNG truck fueling stations—will be available to meet their fleet fueling needs. Among recent fleet operators to opt for natural gas fuel are: Premier Transportation, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia; Transplace, Frisco, Texas and Glacier Transportation & Logistics, Atlanta, Georgia; Dillon Transportation LLC, Burr Ridge, Illinois; C.R. England, Salt Lake City, Utah; Ryder Dedicated Logistics, El Segundo, California; CEVA Logistics, Hoofddorp, the Netherlands; and Werner Enterprises, Omaha, Nebraska.

Clean Energy subsidiary BAF is the leading provider of natural gas vehicle systems and conversions in the United States.

We have opened the doors of our new facility, and we are commemorating these events with the delivery of our 20,000th natural gas vehicle conversion. Our industry has grown from just an idea 20 years ago to today, when hundreds of natural gas-powered vehicle fleets are deployed across the nation every day.” He noted that “BAF expects to convert more than 5,000 vehicles to CNG power” in 2012.
Clean Energy Partners With Waste Pro USA
Clean Energy has contracted with major Southeast U.S. solid waste collection, recycling and disposal company Waste Pro USA to build, operate and maintain a new CNG fueling station on Waste Pro property in Fort Pierce, FL. The private time-fill fueling facility will support the company’s new fleet of CNG-powered trucks. Waste Pro recently announced its investment of $100 million for vehicles and fueling stations to transition a portion of its fleet from diesel fuel to CNG. In Phase One of its CNG transition effort, Waste Pro expects to deploy 150 heavy-duty waste collection and recycling trucks to serve residential and commercial customers. The investment includes planned construction by Clean Energy of natural gas fueling facilities in the South. Waste Pro is one of the country’s fastest growing, privately owned waste collection, recycling and disposal companies, operating in seven southeastern states.
BAF Earns CARB Certification for 2012 CNG Fords
 |
BAF Technologies has received CARB (California Air Resources Board) Executive Orders (EO) for its CNG-powered 2012 Ford F-Series 250/350 pickups and E-Series 250/350 vans. The CARB EOs allow the vehicles to be sold and operated in California—the state with the most stringent emissions control rules—effective immediately, as well as in sixteen other states that follow CARB rules. In effect, the CNG-fueled Ford F-Series 250/350 pickups and E-Series 250/350 vans will now be available in all 50 states. BAF is the first CNG converter in the country to achieve CARB certification for its F-Series pickups. The CNG-powered BAF E-250/350 vans—already in wide use by service providers like AT&T and Super Shuttle—have been CARB-certified since 2007. The new EO extends the certification to the 2012 model year. “With our broad CARB and EPA-approved line-up of seven product families, BAF has emerged as the leading provider of quality-tested, CNG-powered fleet vehicles in the industry,” said John Bacon, BAF president.
