Clean Energy will operate ten of Metro’s CNG dispensing points that supply its natural gas-powered bus fleet with 40 million gallons of methane annually when the transition is complete.
Clean Energy’s president and CEO Andrew J. Littlefair stated: “Metro’s 2,500 CNG buses comprise 95% of its overall transit bus fleet. We are honoured by the opportunity Metro has given us to assume overall responsibility for supporting their entire CNG bus fleet. They are the clear leader today among U.S. transit operators that are taking accelerated action to operate bus fleets on clean-burning, cost-effective CNG power.”
Earlier this year, Clean Energy received another 10-year contract from LA Metro to supply agencies in Los Angeles Central and South Bay. It is worth mentioning that this transportation system deploys buses on 191 fixed routes with nearly 16,000 bus stops in Greater Los Angeles County.
