Natural Gas Food Truck In NYC

Mayor Bloomberg and T. Boone Pickens introduce New York City's first CNG-powered food truck: Neapolitan Pizza.


The full press release is here.
“Clean Energy has been part of many ‘firsts’ in the natural gas transportation fuel business, but the partnership with Neapolitan Express may be the most unique and exciting,” said legendary energy executive T. Boone Pickens. “With its multiple uses of natural gas, its urban location and the desire to always look at improving margins, it makes total sense for the rapidly growing food truck segment to transition to use cleaner, cheaper fuel. We applaud Neapolitan Express for taking a leadership role in what will surely be the future of food trucks.”

“Neapolitan Express and Clean Energy Fuels are taking the art of pizza and food trucks to new heights, while also setting a new standard for sustainability,” said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. “This first-of-its-kind truck is one of many alternative vehicle technologies that can help us reduce emissions and improve air quality – something City government has worked to do by using electric and hybrid vehicles and taxis. We’re lucky to have private sector partners like Clean Energy Fuels and Neapolitan Express, who are taking charge and helping New York City lead the way to a greener future.”

The truck was built by Clean Vehicle Solutions and uses 220 GGEs per week. You can see the full length [10m 30s] video of the press event here.

  1. Hey there.
    We're new in town: a mobile food truck serving organic and authentic Neapolitan Pizzas.
    In addition, our truck runs on Natural Gas (CNG) and emits 70% less greenhouses gases than standard trucks.
    We would love you to come check out our page and watch for us on the road. Thank you so much for the mention.
