“UPS has staked a leadership role by transitioning their fleet to cleaner-burning natural gas,” said James Harger, chief marketing officer for Clean Energy. “Opening the Texas Triangle to LNG fueling is a significant milestone in the use of natural gas in goods movement and we look forward to supporting UPS’ natural gas fleet as it continues to expand across the nation.”

The fueling agreements will support UPS’ heavy-duty trucks, one of the largest LNG truck deployments in North America to-date.
