Business Wire
To support the growing demand for natural gas-fueled trucking in
the United States, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:CLNE) has
signed an agreement with Pilot Travel Centers LLC (Pilot) to build,
own and operate public access, compressed and liquefied natural gas
(CNG/LNG) fueling facilities at agreed-upon Pilot Flying J truck
travel centers nationwide.
Pilot Flying J operates over 550 truck travel centers in 43
states and six Canadian provinces. It is the largest truck-fueling
operator in the country.
“Pilot Flying J is the clear leader in the truck stop and travel
center industry. They have the best team and the best stations, and
we are eager to begin our partnership with them. This is the
critical link for Clean Energy to be able to roll out natural gas
truck fueling services across the nation,” said Andrew J.
Littlefair, Clean Energy President and CEO.
“With the availability of new, class-8, 2010 EPA-compliant
natural gas trucks from several major manufacturers,” noted Mr.
Littlefair, “major regional and national trucking operators are
considering the move to natural gas for their fleets to add fuel
diversity, lower emissions and reduce dependence on imported oil.
Partnering with Pilot Flying J will not only allow us to help meet
the demand from these fleets, but will also enable us to begin
creating a nationwide goods movement corridor for natural gas
trucks.”
Pilot Flying J is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee,
and has more than 550 locations in North America. The company
employs more than 20,000 people and is the largest retail operator
of travel centers in North America. Please visit
