Business Wire
The Harbor Trucking Association (HTA) is the leading voice of
port drayage with more than 100 member companies operating more
than 8,000 trucks in America’s West Coast Ports. The HTA is excited
to announce a new partnership with Clean Energy Fuels Corp.
(Nasdaq: CLNE) to be the exclusive provider of clean transportation
fuels to the association member companies. Both HTA and Clean
Energy have been leaders in responsible environmental stewardship
that won’t create an overarching burden on the companies or drivers
that makeup the port drayage industry.
As part of this partnership, Clean Energy will provide
specialized clean fuel programs to HTA members as the industry
prepares for the implementation of the newest version of the Clean
Air Action Plan adopted by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long
Beach.
“The HTA is a solutions based organization, and we look at Clean
Energy’s products as another solution for our members to decrease
their carbon footprint while remaining commercially viable,” said
Weston LaBar, CEO of the HTA. He continued to state, “We do not
pick how our members transition to cleaner technology, but we will
continue to champion efforts to insure they can make transitions in
a way that is affordable, operationally and commercially viable,
and offers them the flexibility to transition in a manner that best
serves their needs. Clean Energy has stepped up to fill a valuable
role to help truckers transition to near zero-emissions technology
and lower carbon footprints.”
In addition to a clean fuels program, Clean Energy will provide
valuable resources in the form of workshops on the latest programs
for clean technology funding, as well as aide in the grant writing
needs for company fleets and individual owner operators looking to
upgrade their equipment.
“The trucking industry is facing many challenges and
opportunities, particularly those companies that do business at the
Ports,” said Greg Roche, vice president of sustainable trucking at
Clean Energy. “Clean Energy looks forward to working with HTA
members to easily navigate through the ways to economically
purchase the latest clean near-zero engine technology and the
cleanest fuel available today, renewable natural gas.”
Clean Energy will also continue to show how technology for
near-zero technology vehicles has continued to evolve by partnering
with HTA member companies to get drivers behind the wheel of
demonstration trucks that offer the newest technology
available.
Finally, both entities have made the commitment to shape policy
that helps get clean technology funds into the hands of those that
most need the assistance. The partnership will consist of an
advocacy effort that will help get the necessary assistance to
fleets and drivers that want to grow green and transition out older
equipment.
