SEAL BEACH, CA - Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has begun providing natural gas fuel to additional trucking fleets which transport products for some of the country’s largest and most well-known brands, accelerating the trucking industry’s conversion to natural gas fuel.

Five firms — Saddle Creek Logistics Services, Lakeland, Fla.; Premier Transportation, Atlanta; Hoopes Turf Farm, Transport Division, Ulysses, Pa.; Lily Transportation Corp., Needham, Mass.; and Lancaster Foods, Jessup, Md. — will use compressed natural gas (CNG) at existing Clean Energy public access stations, new stations built for the companies, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Clean Energy stations along its America’s Natural Gas Highway.

“These companies are geographically diverse, but the common theme we hear from all of them is a desire to reduce their fuel costs and to deploy cleaner operating fleets,” said James Harger, Clean Energy’s Chief Marketing Officer. “With the availability of a new class of heavy-duty natural gas trucks as well as more fueling stations, regional and national trucking operators are seeing the enormous benefits of converting to natural gas as their transportation fuel.”

Saddle Creek Logistics Services

Saddle Creek, a nationwide third-party logistics company, has expanded its contract with Clean Energy to build additional private natural gas fueling stations to support Saddle Creek’s expanding fleet of for-hire CNG trucks. Fueling at its new CNG station at the company’s Lakeland headquarters, a fleet of 40 Freightliner natural gas trucks is now serving Saddle Creek’s Florida customers. With its CNG fleet size projected to grow to 120 trucks, this will be the largest over-the-road CNG truck fleet in the state.

“Sustainability is a core strategy at Saddle Creek. We have opted to transition our truck fleets to natural gas power to help our customers secure the benefits of this clean, cost-efficient, abundant domestic fuel,” said Mike DelBovo, Saddle Creek’s President.

Premier Transportation

Premier provides transportation and logistics solutions to the retail department store and consumer products industries. Supported by a national CNG fueling contract with Clean Energy, Premier has deployed a new fleet of CNG-powered heavy-duty Freightliner trucks to serve its customers in the Greater Atlanta area. Expanding to major U.S. metropolitan areas over time, Premier CNG trucks will fuel at Clean Energy’s national network of public access CNG stations.

Premier Chairman and CEO, Mike Medici, said, “Our transition to natural gas fuel for our truck fleets gives us a hedge against rising fuel costs, and the chance to offer a clean, domestic, abundant fuel source to support the sustainability objectives of our retail industry customers.”

Hoopes Turf Farm

Hoopes is a family-owned sod production and contract truck transportation company that offers solutions for construction and energy development sites, industrial hauling, materials delivery, commercial transportation needs, large equipment pick-up and delivery, and private residential requirements. With 10 LNG trucks in service now, the company plans to transition its entire fleet of 50 trucks to LNG power.

The Hoopes LNG fleet will increasingly rely on Clean Energy’s network of public access LNG fueling stations — America’s Natural Gas Highway™ — which will connect major trucking corridors across the country. A total of 150 new Clean Energy LNG fueling stations at strategic locations in 33 states are planned for completion by the end of 2013.

Lily Transportation Corp.

As a Dedicated Contract Carrier providing value added transportation to the grocery, retail and industrial sectors, Lily is committed to using the latest in proven technologies and engineering to support its customers’ cost and environmental needs. Slotted mud-flaps, limited top speeds, minimized idle time and aerodynamic device-equipped tractor trailers and trucks are just some of the tools the company employs on its fleets. Lily has recently deployed a new fleet of CNG-powered trucks to serve one of its supply chain customers in the Los Angeles area. The fleet will fuel at Clean Energy’s extensive local network of public access CNG stations.

John Simourian II, President and CEO, states, “Lily is committed to continuously reducing fuel usage and fuel cost for our customers. In addition, we continually seek to have a positive impact on the communities that we travel through, and our growing use of clean, green, American natural gas fuel for our trucks will help us achieve that objective. We believe that natural gas will become the preferred fuel for transporters, and better yet, it’s good for American jobs, American energy independence, and therefore America.”

Lancaster Foods

A subsidiary of Guest Services, Inc., Lancaster Foods is the largest wholesale produce company in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. The company — focused on replenishing high-volume wholesalers and responding to fill-in demand — has begun its transition to natural gas power with a new fleet of CNG temperature-sensitive refrigerated trucks. The Clean Energy CNG public access station at Baltimore/Washington, DC International Airport will provide fueling service to the Lancaster trucks.

Doug Verner, Vice President of Corporate Sustainability, noted "These vehicles will make a major contribution to our company-wide efforts to reduce carbon emissions. We are looking forward to expanding our CNG-powered fleet in the future."

Priced up to $1.50 or more per gallon less than diesel fuel (based on current market conditions) the use of natural gas fuel reduces costs significantly for vehicle and fleet owners, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions up to 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, natural gas is a secure North American energy source, with 98% of the natural gas consumed produced in the U.S. and Canada.
