Clean Energy Fuels Opens CNG Station for Fleets and HD Trucks at JFK Int’l Airport
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), has announced fueling has begun at its newest CNG public access station, which is located at JFK International Airport within the newly-opened JFK multi-fuel travel plaza.
Clean Energy will be fueling many types of fleets including refuse trucks, heavy and medium duty trucks, cement trucks, as well as shuttles and taxis that directly serve JFK travelers.
The new public CNG station is open 24/7 and also features other alternative fuels, such as E-85, electric vehicle charging stations, as well as conventional gasoline and diesel. However, CNG is the only alternative fuel which can meet the fueling needs of vehicles ranging from taxis to heavy-duty trucks which will be fueling at this station.
To date, Clean Energy is now operating at every international airport in the Northeast and currently operates over thirty public stations in the Tri-State area.
“The New York Department of Sanitation’s municipal refuse fleet is the largest in the nation and requires a fueling partner who can meet the demands of our fleet,” said Rocco DiRico, deputy commissioner, New York City Department of Sanitation. “The new JFK CNG station makes fueling even easier for our department.”
According to Clean Energy Fuels, natural gas fuel costs up to $1.50 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel can reduce operating costs for vehicles and also reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles.
