A Pilot Flying J truck stop, soon to be outfitted with CNG/LNG facilities.
To support the growing demand for natural gas-fueled trucking in the United States, Clean Energy Fuels Corp., a North American provider of natural gas fuel for transportation, 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, the largest retail operator of travel centers in North America, operates over 550 truck travel centers in 43 states and six Canadian provinces.
“With the availability of new, class-8, 2010 EPA-compliant natural gas trucks from several major manufacturers,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy President and CEO, “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.”
