After signing a contract award valued at USD 40 million, Clean Energy will be in charge of designing and building four compressed natural gas refuelling station at DART’s bus and paratransit maintenance facilities.
Over the next three years, the Dallas public transportation agency plans to deploy 452 new buses and 200 paratransit vehicles running on methane as replacements for its current fleet of liquefied natural gas and diesel-powered models that began service in 1998.
“With the transition of its bus fleet to CNG power, DART joins the ranks of clear leaders among U.S. transit operators anxious to secure the environmental and economic benefits of CNG for their communities,” said James Harger, Clean Energy’s Chief Marketing Officer.
