"Steve's years of experience in the transportation industry as well as
his solid managerial skills have proven invaluable to the board, to me
and to other Clean Energy executives," said Andrew J. Littlefair, CEO
and president of Clean Energy. "I'm confident that Steve's elevation to
Chairman will give us the continuity we need as the company continues to
grow and particularly as the trucking
industry, which Steve is so steeped in, continues its transition to
the clean alternative of natural gas fuel."
"There aren't words to express my gratitude for Warren's leadership of
Clean Energy's board," said Mr. Littlefair. "He has been there since
virtually the beginning and provided the wisest of counsel on all

on our environment and there is no better alternative for fleets than
natural gas. I have big shoes to fill in Warren's but look forward to
working with the other board members and Clean Energy's executive team
to take advantage of this exciting time in the transportation industry."
