CNG Bill of Fare for Chicago’s Yellow Cabs

February 1, 2010 | USA, Chicago

Two new CNG fuelling stations, 100 new CNG taxis to be deployed

Taxi Affiliation Services (TAS), which operates Yellow Cab Chicago, the nation’s oldest and largest continuously operating taxicab fleet, has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. a 10-year contract to build and operate two new CNG fueling stations and sell fuel to the company’s growing CNG taxi fleet. Yellow Cab Chicago and its affiliates plan an initial deployment of 100 new CNG taxis.

In addition to serving Yellow Cab taxis, the stations will be open 24/7 for public access.

James Harger, Clean Energy’s Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, said, “We look forward to supporting their first 100 clean, green CNG-powered taxis, and to provide ongoing support as their fleet expands. These key stations begin a larger city network we intend to build.”

Clean Energy partnered with Yellow Cab Chicago to apply for and secure $1.5 million in grant funding from the City of Chicago and the Department of Energy to help defer the costs of station construction and acquiring new CNG taxi vehicles.

Michael Levine, CEO, Taxi Affiliation Services, said, “We operate approximately 3,000 cabs … Our new, growing CNG taxi fleets will provide benefits not only to the drivers and passengers in the form of lower fuel costs and clean, green performance, but to the City of Chicago at large, as greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced.”
