multiple bays. It is retractable for easy storage and can even be
relocated to another facility.

three McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing facilities, and
anticipates beginning construction in early 2017.

equipped with CNG-prepped gasoline engines, including Transit Van
and F-150 pickup trucks which are both manufactured at the nearby
Ford Assembly Plant.John Ruppert, Director of Commercial Vehicle
Sales & Marketing for Ford Motor Company, said that “for many
of our commercial fleet customers, sustainability and alternative

options like CNG provides them with choices in how they may choose
to implement those plans.”

largest distributors of fresh produce and specialty foods in the
North East, has begun making the transition to natural gas for its
fleet after testing a CNG truck provided by Clean Energy.

operate the Class-8 CNG truck as a unique way to explore the
benefits of fueling with natural gas first hand. Baldor will be
fueling at Clean Energy’s National Grid station in Everett,
Massachusetts.“We had been looking at natural gas for our fleet for
some time, and the demo truck program was a perfect way for us to
test it out,” said Steve Tufo, Director of Transportation. “After
two weeks of operating the truck on a daily basis, the results were
clear and we look forward to adding additional natural gas trucks
to our fleet.”
