Largest Private CNG Fueling Station in North America Completed

TruStar Energy, one of the nation’s leading developers of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling stations, has recently completed construction of a private CNG fueling station for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles US (FCA US).

Located at the company’s North American Detroit Terminal, the CNG station will fuel 179 tractor trucks in FCA Transport’s fleet with domestically produced natural gas. With six Ariel compressors able to dispense CNG at nearly 40 gasoline-gallon equivalent (GGE) per minute, it is the largest private fast-fill station in North America.

“Allocating FCA US resources to convert the fleet to CNG not only yields the company long-term cost savings, it significantly reduces CO2 emissions and continues the company’s leadership in the areas of technological advancement and sustainability, said Marty DiFiore, head of FCA Transport.

The FCA Transport fleet delivers parts and materials to FCA US assembly plants in Michigan, Ohio, and Ontario, Canada.

Added Adam Comora, President of TruStar Energy, “Companies that have fleets are beginning to take a longer strategic look at migrating their vehicles to domestic compressed natural gas. Even in a lower oil price environment, certain CNG applications still make economic sense providing significant cost savings while allowing corporations to make progress toward sustainability goals.”
