LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Harbor Trucking Association (HTA) is the leading voice of port
drayage with more than 100 member companies operating more than 8,000
trucks in America's West Coast Ports. The HTA is excited to announce a
new partnership with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) to be the
exclusive provider of clean transportation fuels to the association
member companies. Both HTA and Clean Energy have been leaders in
responsible environmental stewardship that won't create an overarching
burden on the companies or drivers that makeup the port drayage industry.
As part of this partnership, Clean Energy will provide specialized clean
fuel programs to HTA members as the industry prepares for the
implementation of the newest version of the Clean Air Action Plan
adopted by the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
"The HTA is a solutions based organization, and we look at Clean
Energy's products as another solution for our members to decrease their
carbon footprint while remaining commercially viable," said Weston
LaBar, CEO of the HTA. He continued to state, "We do not pick how our
members transition to cleaner technology, but we will continue to
champion efforts to insure they can make transitions in a way that is
affordable, operationally and commercially viable, and offers them the
flexibility to transition in a manner that best serves their needs.
Clean Energy has stepped up to fill a valuable role to help truckers
transition to near zero-emissions technology and lower carbon
footprints."
In addition to a clean fuels program, Clean Energy will provide valuable
resources in the form of workshops on the latest programs for clean
technology funding, as well as aide in the grant writing needs for
company fleets and individual owner operators looking to upgrade their
equipment.
"The trucking industry is facing many challenges and opportunities,
particularly those companies that do business at the Ports," said Greg
Roche, vice president of sustainable trucking at Clean Energy. "Clean
Energy looks forward to working with HTA members to easily navigate
through the ways to economically purchase the latest clean near-zero
engine technology and the cleanest fuel available today, renewable
natural gas."
Clean Energy will also continue to show how technology for near-zero
technology vehicles has continued to evolve by partnering with HTA
member companies to get drivers behind the wheel of demonstration trucks
that offer the newest technology available.
Finally, both entities have made the commitment to shape policy that
helps get clean technology funds into the hands of those that most need
the assistance. The partnership will consist of an advocacy effort that
will help get the necessary assistance to fleets and drivers that want
to grow green and transition out older equipment.
