Among the three proposals, Senate Bill 20 establishes a natural gas transportation corridor in the rapidly expanding Texas Triangle, which encompasses Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, by increasing the number of natural gas refuelling stations, supporting the use of NGV trucks.
“Bill 20 will make possible a new ‘clean transportation triangle’ helping add the infrastructure necessary to allow natural gas-fuelled trucks, such as the ones produced here, to expand their range across our state. This [Peterbilt] factory stands as yet another example of what’s possible when innovative minds are given the freedom to explore, to try new approaches and meet challenges in unique and exciting ways,” said Perry during the press conference.
The other two initiatives, Senate Bill 527 and House Bill 3328, focus on investments to improve and stimulate gas extraction from the region’s wells.
