Clean Energy Receives Contract from DART to Construct Four New CNG Stations
Over the next three years, the agency plans to deploy 452 new CNG buses and 200 CNG paratransit vehicles as replacements for its current fleet of liquefied natural gas and diesel-powered models that began service in 1998. The new Clean Energy CNG fueling stations will be located at DART's bus and paratransit maintenance facilities. The station development project is set to start in May 2011 and Clean Energy expects to complete DART's first new CNG fueling facility by April 2012. "With the transition of its bus fleet to CNG power, DART joins the ranks of clear leaders among US transit operators anxious to secure the environmental and economic benefits of CNG for their communities," said James Harger, Clean Energy's Chief Marketing Officer. "Across the nation, Clean Energy is partnering with many transit agencies to reliably fuel over 5,500 buses daily.
