Clean Energy Opening Two Stations to Fuel Raven Transportation LNG HD Trucks
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) has announced a multi-year natural gas fueling agreement to support 36 new natural gas trucks deployed by Raven Transport Inc.
Clean Energy plans to support this effort by opening two of its America’s Natural Gas Highway stations in Jacksonville, Fla., and Franklin, Ohio.
Raven’s 36 new heavy-duty LNG tractors will haul goods for a major U.S. consumer goods company on routes through Georgia and the upper Midwest. The new trucks are forecasted to consume approximately 1 million diesel-gallon-equivalents of LNG per year, which is anticipated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 2,000 metric tons per year, or the equivalent of removing 350 passenger cars from the road each year.
Raven’s tractors are powered by the new Cummins Westport 12-liter natural gas engine, the powertrain that is reshaping the heavy-duty natural gas trucking industry.
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 not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles.
