SEAL BEACH, CA – Clean Energy Fuels Corp. announced it has begun providing natural gas fuel to additional trucking fleets that transport products for some of the country's largest and most well-known brands.

The following five firms will use compressed natural gas (CNG) at existing Clean Energy public access stations, new stations built for the companies, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Clean Energy stations along its America's Natural Gas Highway:

Saddle Creek Logistics Services. Saddle Creek, a nationwide third-party logistics company, has expanded its contract with Clean Energy to build additional private natural gas fueling stations to support Saddle Creek's expanding fleet of for-hire CNG trucks. Fueling at its new CNG station at the company's Lakeland headquarters, a fleet of 40 Freightliner natural gas trucks is now serving Saddle Creek's Florida customers. With its CNG fleet size projected to grow to 120 trucks, this will be the largest over-the-road CNG truck fleet in the state.

The fleet will fuel at Clean Energy's extensive local network of public access CNG stations.
