Chesapeake Energy Corp. invests in Clean Energy Fuels

Friday, August 5, 2011 by JD East


$150 million gives natural gas infrastructure a boost

The announcement last week that Chesapeake Energy Corp. would be investing $150 million in Clean Energy Fuels is welcomed news to natural gas supporters in this country, particularly in trucking.FleetOwner Logo

The timing of the announcement dovetails with a bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives this spring that would provide significant incentive for the purchase of natural gas vehicles. The “New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions” Act (HR 1380), dubbed NAT GAS, is intended to provide financial benefits for users of natural gas as a vehicle fuel. This includes tax credits for the purchase of such vehicles, for retrofitting diesel or gasoline vehicles; for the purchase of natural gas; and for the building of fueling stations, including home refueling units.

Palmer Trucks is proud to be on the cutting edge of CNG vehicles in the trucking industry.  Partnering with Cummins-Westport, Agility Fuel Systems, Clean Cities and Kenworth Trucks, Palmer Trucks is supported by the best in the trucking business.  With CNG truck customers of Fair Oaks Farms, Monarch Beverages and INDOT, Palmer Trucks is the most experienced and best equipped truck dealership for your CNG and alternate energy fleets.
