Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and Agility Fuel Systems, which designs and produces natural-gas fuel storage and delivery systems, announced a joint fuel-system sales program to reduce the incremental cost of heavy-duty natural-gas trucks.
The two will work with trucking customers and offer compressed natural gas fuel systems installed at what they called 鈥渟ubstantially reduced cost鈥 when a natural-gas fueling agreement is in place.
鈥淥ur goal is to give heavy-duty natural-gas truckers a 鈥榙iesel-like鈥 experience, which means it is as easy to buy, fuel and use with the added benefit of using cleaner and less expensive natural gas,鈥 Agility CEO Barry Engle said.
鈥淩educing the upfront cost of switching to natural gas is critical for America鈥檚 trucking industry,鈥 said Brett Lindsay, regional vice president of Clean Energy, which supplies CNG and liquefied natural gas for trucking.
The joint program with Agility 鈥渁ddresses this issue directly and is another compelling product offering to help fleet operators make the switch to natural gas,鈥 Lindsay said.
