With this major alliance, both Clean Energy and Chesapeake aim to accelerate the development of “America’s Natural Gas Highway”, an important fuelling network that will involve the opening of about 150 LNG stations, located at strategic truck-stop locations along interstate corridors in the United States.
“This new initiative is in addition to our growing development program of stations serving local fleets in the refuse, transit, airport, municipal and regional trucking markets around the country,” explained Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean Energy.
Many of the fuelling stations will be co-located at Pilot-Flying J Travel Centers already serving goods movement trucking across the country. Clean Energy has an agreement with privately held Pilot Travel Centers LLC of Knoxville (Tennessee) to build, own and operate public access, compressed and liquefied natural gas fuelling facilities at agreed-upon Pilot-Flying J locations.
