UPS Increases Use of Renewable Natural Gas

All Clean Energy CNG fueling stations in the Coachella Valley sell only renewable natural gas (RNG). CNG fueling stations here in the Coachella Valley are in Desert Hot Springs (just off Palm Drive on Park Lane), Palm Springs Airport, Cathedral City Arco on Date Palm, and Palm Desert at Burrtec - all open to the public

United Parcel Service will make its largest investment in RNG by agreeing to purchase 10 million gallon equivalents from Big Ox Energy. "Natural gas is a proven alternative fuel to gasoline and diesel and is a key building block for our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our ground fleet," said Mike Casteel, UPS director of fleet procurement.

From USGasVehicles.com:
November 16, 2017. NGVAmerica President Daniel Gage spoke about the announcement of an eventual electric truck by Tesla: "Pronouncements grab headlines and not much else. But clean technology natural gas trucks on our roadways today are already making a difference to improve our air and reduce our carbon footprint."

"NGVAmerica member companies have been manufacturing safe, efficient, affordable, clean-tech vehicles and powertrains for decades."

"Why wait years for maybe when we can positively impact air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and lower dependence on foreign fuels all at an affordable price in the commercial truck space right now?"

"No commercially-available heavy-duty powertrain solution runs cleaner than natural gas. The cleanest heavy-duty truck engine in the world is powered by natural gas."

"Natural gas vehicles are powered by American fuel, American technology, and American innovation. Natural gas transportation is making a difference through a variety of applications – trucks, trash, transit, marine and rail."

"Don't wait to clean our air tomorrow. Start today with available natural gas technology."
