Business Wire
The Sanitation Bureau of the City of Los Angeles has awarded Clean
Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) a contract for up to 10 years to
supply Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel for the City�s growing
fleet of 340 LNG refuse trucks � the largest municipal LNG-powered
refuse fleet in the United States. The LNG fleet currently uses
approximately 3.5 million gallons of clean-burning LNG fuel each
year. Fleet fuel volumes are expected to increase as diesel trucks
in the 700 truck fleet continue to be replaced with LNG refuse
vehicles. The Sanitation Districts are a partnership of 24
independent special districts serving approximately 5.3 million
people in Los Angeles County. The service area covers more than 810
square miles and encompasses 78 cities and unincorporated territory
within the County. �We are pleased to launch our LNG supply
relationship with the City of Los Angeles, and are committed to
providing reliable, cost-efficient fueling services, ensuring the
City that its refuse trucks roll out daily to meet community
needs,� said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy�s President and
CEO. �Reliable fuel supply is a critical factor for refuse agencies
and we have worked hard to be the leader in the field.� Clean
Energy has sourcing contracts with six LNG plants in the western
United States. The Company also operates its own LNG plant near
Houston, Texas. When Clean Energy�s new California LNG Plant
becomes operational later this year, it will produce up to 160,000
gallons of LNG per day and have over 1.5 million gallons of LNG
storage. Clean Energy is the leading provider of natural gas (CNG
and LNG) for transportation in North America. It has a broad
customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi,
trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than
14,000 vehicles daily at 170 strategic locations across the United
States and Canada. Clean Energy del Peru, Clean Energy�s Peruvian
joint venture, operates the world�s largest natural gas vehicle
fueling station in Lima, Peru. Information at:
