Let Hexagon Buy You a Drink!Hexagon Lincoln is sponsoring this evening’s reception at the Ventanas, a rooftop restaurant replete with helipad atop the Hilton Garden Inn. 6-8pm.

AGL Resources senior commercial operations VP Scott Carter and Georgia Public Service Commissioner Doug Everett with (from left to right) Trey Bordelon, Tom Putnam, Wesley Langdale (with scissors), Lauren “Bubba” McDonald Jr., Gary Black, Austin Scott and Ross Harding at the Atlanta Gas Light-Langdale Fuel CNG station grand opening in Valdosta, Ga. on August 16.

The Atlanta Gas Unit of AGL Resources is building CNG fueling stations under a Georgia Public Service Commission program. The first station, with Langdale Fuel, opened in Valdosta this past summer, and last month AGL announced contracts for CNG fueling stations in Decatur and Ogletho-rpe. The program also includes two CNG outlets in Atlanta, and stations in Forest Park and Savannah.

AGL Grows the Georgia Infrastructure

The up-to-400-hp, 11.9-liter, spark-ignition ISX12 G is viewed by many as the enabler for dedicated natural gas as a serious option for over-the-road Class 8 trucks. Manufacturer Cummins Westport is at Booth 715 and the truck-builders Freightliner and Mack are promoting the new engine here as well.

We are pleased to be a platinum sponsor for this conference because we believe in and strongly support what NGVAmerica represents.

I have been in the natural gas business for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that today our industry is in a unique position. There has never been a time when the outlook for the natural gas industry has been so positive. Opportunities have aligned to cre-ate the momentum we have now, and I sincerely believe that natural gas is on the cusp of something great. And there’s no better place to discuss the future of natural gas vehicles than the great city of Atlanta.

With the support of our Public Service Com-mission, AGL has cultivated a nearly 20-year partnership with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) to support the con-version of its municipal bus fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas, which was initiated

to support the 1996 Olym-pics and our city’s clean air goals. Today MARTA has 370 buses powered by CNG, with plans to con-vert the entire municipal fleet to natural gas by 2018. So if you hop on a city bus during your visit here, you likely will be riding in a vehicle powered by CNG. Our success with municipal bus conversions has led to

more CNG planned for the city. Soon, when you see a City of Atlanta sanitation truck picking up trash, it likely will be powered by CNG, as well. Atlanta Gas Light is building new CNG infrastructure in Metro Atlanta to support those endeavors and additional partnerships to come.

The unprecedented growth in domestic sup-ply of natural gas and the resulting economic advantage continue to drive innovation, and we are seeing the results firsthand. The automobile

and heavy duty vehicle industries have made several announcements over the past few months regarding natural gas vehicles that will be avail-able in the near future. Businesses are convert-ing their fleets to alternative fuels like CNG and liquefied natural gas – LNG – because they are aware of the economic and environmental benefits.

There are opportunities everywhere to make natural gas the fueling source of our future. At AGL Resources, we are committed enterprise-wide to using our voice, our resources and our expertise to propel the natural gas industry for-ward, and NGVs are an important part of that progress. Events like the NGVAmerica Confer-ence and Expo present an invaluable opportunity to learn, share and collectively move us toward a more secure and environmentally responsible energy future.

Welcome to Atlanta! My colleagues and I hope to speak with you about natural gas and how it can fuel your future before you leave.

Sincerely,Hank Linginfelter Executive Vice President Distribution Operations AGL Resources

NGVAmerica general counsel and regulatory affairs director Jeff Clarke presided over a meeting of the NGVAmerica board during the association’s annual meeting here yesterday.

Besides naming Agility Fuel Sys-tems president (and veteran of SCI

and Pressed Steel Tank) as the new NGVAmerica chairman, the board tackled a raft of legislative and regulatory issues, as well as market development matters and associa-tion service enhancements – includ-ing development of a new, “members only” section of www.ngvc.com.

• California Air Resources Board and other state aftermarket certification issues,

• the treatment by states of weights and measures as they pertain to CNG and LNG,

• EPA enforcement issues, • the Federal Highway Administration’s “Buy

America” criteria, • correction of federal excise tax on LNG

to be consistent with diesel-gallon energy equivalence

• status of NGV-related tax incentives within in the context of broader tax reform efforts

underway in Washington,• state taxes,• maximum GVWR waiver/weight allowances

for CNG and LNG fuel storage on trucks, • tunnel restrictions on CNG and LNG, • Clean Cities funding,• light duty CAFE guidance modifications for

NGVs, and• development of “model bill” language to

assist state NGV advocacy efforts.NGVAmerica and the Canadian NGV Alliance are at Booth 425.

Recent news includes the first broad commercial distribution of renewable natural gas for vehicles – Clean Energy (Booth 631) calls it “Redeem,” vin-dication of a strategy to enlist the truckers who haul for name brand companies to use natural gas – NFI for Lowe’s is the latest to commit, and a broadening relationship with GE for both financ-ing and large-scale LNG production.

“We’re breaking down the barriers to entry that may have prevented some fleet owners from making the transition to natural gas,” said Clean Energy president and CEO Andrew Littlefair. “Our goal is to work with fleet operators to achieve a one-year payback on the incremental cost of natural gas heavy-duty trucks.”

“All the fleets are trying it,” says Jim Harger, one of Clean Energy’s first employees and now chief marketing officer of the $324 million company. “We’ve got plenty of supply,” he told ShowTimes.

CERF, the company’s Clean Energy Renew-able Fuels unit, early last month unveiled the tradename “Redeem” for renewable natural gas – produced at landfills in Dallas and Michigan (more sources are in development) and injected into the national natural gas pipeline grid.

Also last month, Clean Energy reported a con-tract with Lowe’s logistics supplier NFI to supply the retailer’s trucks with liquefied natural gas fuel.

NFI is deploying 17 Peterbilt 384 day cab tractors with the 400-horsepower version of the new 11.9-liter ISX12 G engine from Cummins Westport (Booth 715) at the Lowe’s regional distri-bution center in Mount Vernon, Texas.

“Our goal is to replace all of our diesel-pow-ered dedicated fleets with natural gas trucks by the end of 2017,” said Lowe’s transportation VP Steve Palmer.

Clean Energy will support the Lowe’s-NFI fleet in Texas by opening a natural gas station in Sulphur Springs.

Besides financing, Clean Energy’s partnership with GE covers Micro LNG liquefaction facilities from GE Oil & Gas – “micro” to GE perhaps but large from the NGV standpoint: a just-announced facility to be built in Jacksonville, Fla. would be able to turn out approximately 300,000 gallons of LNG per day.

It’s the first project to be developed by Eagle LNG Partners, a new consortium of Clean Energy, GE Ventures, GE Energy Financial Services and Ferus Natural Gas Fuels, and is intended to serve not only truck, but emerging

marine and rail markets for natural gas. “Establishing LNG capacity in Jacksonville is

a critical strategic effort to enable LNG fueling throughout the Southeast region for our vari-ous market segments,” said Clean Energy LNG production VP Brian Powers.

Construction in Jacksonville could start in the second quarter of 2014 with the plant completed in the fourth quarter of 2015, with shipments in 2016.

Clean Energy and GE are also planning Micro LNG facilities in the Northeast and Midwest.

Besides CERF for Redeem biomethane, Clean Energy subsidiaries include IMW for CNG fueling stations and NorthStar for LNG. The firm sold its BAF Technologies NGV conver-sion business, bought for $8.3 in autumn 2009, to Westport Innovations (Booth 616) for $30 million this past June.

Clean Energy: ‘Breaking Down the Barriers’

Clean Energy is sponsoring today’s lun-cheon, where the featured speaker will be Mark Hazelwood, president of Pilot Flying J, the truck stop operator hosting many of Clean Energy’s America’s Natural Gas High-way LNG fueling stations.

Harrison Clay, president of Clean Ener-gy’s Clean Energy Renewable Fuels unit, will participate in the Renewable Natural Gas breakout session this afternoon at 1:30.

Clean Buys Lunch;RNG Breakout Today

Lowe’s is the latest household name company to go green by having its hauler, in this case NFI with a new fleet of 17 LNG-fueled Peterbilt 384s in Texas, switch to natural gas.

Clean Energy Fuels is urging its customers to use its Redeem name to help proclaim their green credentials.

Wayne CNGDispensersItaly-based GE Energy’s Wayne unit (the former Dresser) is promoting CNG dispensers here, noting that its products “offer sleek styl-ing, ease-of-use, durability, and high throughput rates to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly fueling systems.” A Wayne “Global Vista” unit is pic-tured here. Booth 538.

Southern California’s Clean Energy Fuels, which started out with just a handful of people and the inspiration (and backing) of domestic fuels visionary T. Boone Pickens, has grown to be a public company with more than 1,000 employees and more than 400 fueling stations in the U.S. and Canada – supporting more than 30,000 natural gas vehicles per day.

Hexagon Lincoln is doubling the size of its plant in Lincoln – again.

Parent Hexagon Composites cited the advent of the 11.9-liter, up-to-400-horsepower ISX12 G engine from Cummins Westport in its lat-est earnings report and stated, “Most of the end customers in North America are reported to

be choos-ing CNG rather than LNG systems. Hexagon Composites is the mar-ket leader in CNG tanks.”

Hexagon Lincoln (Booth 122) late last month reported a $5 million order for its Tuffshell brand CNG cylin-ders for 200 Freightliner Cascadia tractors for Phoenix-based Swift Transportation – powered by the ISX12 G.

“After trying CNG and LNG trucks in pilot fleets, we chose CNG and cylinders from Hexagon Lincoln for our own systems,” Swift equipment purchasing and shop operations VP Russ Thompson says in Hexagon Lincoln’s announcement.

The Tuffshell tanks, the manufacturer says, “allow fleet owners the flexibility of increased range with less compromise of payload capac-ity and wheelbase. The company’s 26-inch tank family, officially launched in January this year, are the largest Type 4 NGV fuel tanks in the marketplace.”

The large-diameter tanks allow for more gas on a truck, configured for better aerodynamics by assembly specialists like Agility Fuel Systems (Booth 231). A back-of-cab array unveiled by Agil-ity this past summer uses three 26-by-80-inch

Hexagon Lincoln tanks and can hold 120 die-sel gallon equivalents.

Hexagon Lincoln claims “the best com-bination of weight savings, stored volume, robustness and cost in the industry.”

“This is why industry leaders like Swift Transportation choose our CNG cylin-ders over the competition,” said Hexagon Lincoln business development manager Dave Myers.

And it’s part of the reason why parent Hexa-gon composites said late this past spring that it would invest an estimated 150 Norwegian krone, upwards of $25.2 million at current rates

of exchange, to double Lincoln’s production capability for Type IV all-composite compressed natural gas fuel cylinders – again.

“During the second half of 2013, Lincoln’s

capacity will have doubled in relation to its capacity in 2012,” the company said.

“The planned production line is expected to once again double the production capacity for CNG cylinders for the bus and truck market (Tuffshell) compared with the second half of 2013.

“This corresponds to four times the capacity in 2012. The new production line is expected to be operational towards the end of 2014.”

“This investment will give Hexagon Lincoln an automated and dedicated production line aimed specifically at the production of pressure cylinders for larger vehicles,” the company says.

“Because of the great market potential for pres-sure cylinders for larger vehicles in the USA, we

wish to take the lead with essen-tial investments so that we can meet customer needs,” Hexagon Composites CEO Tore Fjell says in the company announcement.“We wish to establish an auto-

mated and cost-effective production line, so as to achieve the greatest possible

competitive effect,” Fjell said.Hexagon Lincoln is known too for its huge

Titan cylinders – Type IV tanks measuring 42 inches in diameter and 38 feet in length. Titan tube trailers, generally with four cylinders each, are used for mother-and-daughter CNG fueling arrangements, and for supplying off-pipeline industrial facilities and energy EW&P – explora-tion and production customers.

Cummins Westport is at Booth 715. Freight-liner Trucks is at Booth 613.

Hexagon Lincoln is celebrating 50 years in business and 20 years of supplying lightweight all-composite Type IV CNG fuel cylinders – the Tuffshell. For nearly ten years the Nebraska company has been a unit of Norway’s Hexagon Composites, and it is riding the wave of NGV expansion in North America.

Hexagon Lincoln is again doubling its production capability at Lincoln, Neb., with a new manufacturing line slated to become operational at the end of next year.

“After trying CNG and LNG trucks in pilot fleets, we chose CNG and cylinders from Hexagon Lincoln for our own systems,”

—Swift equipment purchasing and shop operations VP Russ Thompson

Questar (Booth 829), an affiliate of Salt Lake City’s Questar Gas, decided last year to follow up on its long experience in Utah – starting with 25 vehicle conversions in 1981 and by 2012 operat-ing a network of 28 public access CNG stations around the state – and has since successfully taken its expertise national.

In January Questar said it would build the station in Houston in support of Class 8 trucks operated by Central Freight Lines and Swift Transportation. Questar tapped ANGI Energy Systems (Booth 430) for new station equipment, and said, “These trucks are projected to use about 5 million gallons of natural gas per year.”

Waco, Texas-based Central added 100 CNG-fueled M2 112 trucks to its fleet of more than 1,600 vehi-

cles, manufacturer Freightliner reported in September. The firm also operates natural gas-fueled Peterbilt day cab tractors.

Swift is deploying 200 CNG-fueled Class 8 Freightliner Cascadia trucks – they’ll have $5 million worth of Type IV fuel cylinders from Hexagon Lincoln (Booth 122) – a platinum spon-sor here this week.

In mid-2013, Questar won a competitive bid with PepsiCo/Frito-Lay as the food giant said it would be the primary customer for a new network of public access CNG fueling stations.

Frito-Lay made the pioneering point it would purchase a base volume of gas from the new

stations, giving vendors the support they needed to justify building natural gas infrastructure, and that by year-end it will have more than 200 CNG tractors.

Questar secured the contact for Frito-Lay stations in Killingly, Conn., and Topeka, Kan. Topeka is up and running, with Killingly to follow. Both, like Houston, are using ANGI equipment.

South Carolina’s EcoDual, which is promoting updated equipment for converting heavy duty trucks to

dual fuel natural gas-diesel opera-tion, is in line to provide its equip-ment for an historic Chicago-area CNG locomotive project too.

Under a just-approved CMAQ award, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad is negotiating contracts to convert 31 locomotives to

CNG-diesel dual fuel operation. IHB specified Cummins QSK-series engines with EcoDual

conversion gear in its CMAQ application. The locomotive conversions would be carried out by MP&ES – Motive Power & Equipment Solutions, of Greenville, S.C.

For trucks here in Atlanta, EcoDual (Booth 743) is promoting an

improved dual fuel conversion system for Class 8 tractors called Max/SR 2.0 – and is emphasizing that the new upfit product includes a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, said to be an industry first.

Max/SR 2.0 features “a breakthrough in natural gas

substitution rates,” the company says, promising to save operators 25% on their overall fuel costs.

Further, Max/SR 2.0 is said

to be “more reliable, durable and lighter, while also decreasing installation time, emissions and maintenance expenses.”

A new Questar station in Houston is said to be the nation’s largest CNG station, with 120 time-fill lanes for anchor truck customers and a five-lane public access fast-fill area. A Grand Opening is slated for tomorrow, November 20.

Fleet customers include UPS and the uniform providers AmeriPride and Aramark.

For transit operators, GAS offerings include Altoona-certified Ford E-450 chassis shuttle buses.

GAS now boasts a nearly a dozen locations nationwide, with the latest in Brooklyn, N.Y., where the company perceived a market need. Customers there include Neapolitan Express, which operates CNG-fueled pizza trucks – and

which garnered national attention early this year when Mayor Michael Bloomberg and T. Boone Pickens grabbed some pie outside City Hall in Lower Manhattan.

GAS uses equipment from Westport (Booth 616) for Ford conversions and from Landi Renzo USA-Baytech for GM vehicles. The firm also does propane autogas upfits.

GAS was formed in 2006 by Chino-based

Creative Bus Sales, which had been doing CNG conversions since 1997. In 2009, GAS set up shop in Elkhart, Ind. to take advantage of shuttle bus activity there. Today, in addition to Chino, Elkhart and Brooklyn, GAS performs vehicle conversions in Hayward and Sacramento, Calif., in Irving, Texas; in Las Vegas and Phoenix, and in Orlando and Jacksonville, Fla.

Here at Booth 213, GAS is emphasizing not only aftermarket conversions, but after-sales service: “Second to none,” says Connolly.

“We’re the largest converter of transit and fleet vehicles in the United States,” says Sean Connolly, GM of Chino, Calif.-based Green Alternative Systems. “We’ve done over 5,000 conversions.”

Freightliner and Saddle Creek Transportation have unveiled Cascadia 113 tractors with an Agil-ity (Booth 231) CNG fuel tank assembly that’s expected to yield true 700-mile range and, with lower costs because of fewer tanks, an ROI as low as three years.

The key, says Saddle Creek president Mike DelBovo, is “shorter, fatter” CNG cylinders allowing the back-of-cab tank array from Agility to fit without any horizontal protrusion, signifi-cantly improving tractor aerodynamics.

“When complete, this will mark the first time a natural gas system will be fully enclosed behind the side and back of cab aerodynamic fairings,” says Freightliner (Booth 613).

The improved aerodynamics of what

DelBovo calls the Generation IV design should allow range of 700 miles with just three back-of-cab cylinders. They’ll hold 120 DGE – diesel gallon equivalents.

And, “We’re projecting that it’ll save as much as 500 pounds,” DelBovo said.

Saddle Creek disclosed an order for ten Cas-cadia 113s with new Agility tank package at ACT Expo 2013 in Washington, D.C.

The assembly shown in Washington used new 26-inch diameter Tuffshell brand Type IV tanks from Hexagon Lincoln (122).

As of this past July, Saddle Creek had more than 100 CNG Freightliners out of a fleet of

430 tractors. Last month Ryder System (816) announced that Saddle Creek would be adding 30 Freightliner Cascadia trucks in Texas, and one leased vehicle in Louisiana.

Saddle Creek has a Clean Energy Fuels (631) CNG installation at its Lakeland, Fla. headquar-ters, fuels with Clean Energy here in Atlanta too, and is a lead customer at the new Atlanta Gas Light-Langdale station in Valdosta, Ga., near the Florida line.

Agility Fuel Systems is taking advantage of larger-diameter CNG fuel cylinders to craft onboard fuel system storage assemblies with greater capacity – hence affording greater vehicle range. CNG Freightliner operator Saddle Creek is a lead customer.

“We’re continuing to certify the tanks and expand the portfolio,” says Rick Maveus of 3M (Booth 725). The company launched a new breed of all-composite Type IV CNG cylinder with a proprietary, nanoparticulate composite matrix material last year, and this year reported American National Standards Institute (ANSI NGV2-2007) certification of its first product, a cylinder measuring 21-by-60 inches.

3M’s silica-filled resin is said to better trans-late the strength properties of carbon fiber, allowing less to be used, thereby reducing cost.

At ACT Expo in Washington this past June, 3M showed a 26-by-80-inch tank, now likewise certified for use. Also new are 18.5-inch diam-eter tanks. Diesel/gasoline gallon equivalent capacities range from 11.4 DGE/12.8 GGE to 42.4 DGE/47.5 GGE per cylinder.

Chart Industries (Booth 713) said late last month that it’s won a contract from a major oil company to build and commission 20 retail LNG fueling stations across North America.

“The 20 LNG fueling stations will be built at existing truck stop sites with the intention of adding dispensers alongside existing diesel fueling lanes,” Chart said. The work is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2015.

Fuel will be produced offsite and trucked to the fueling outlets.

“After developing core technologies for vehicle fueling 20 years ago, it’s gratifying to see acceleration in fueling station deployment,” said Bill Haukoos, VP for global LNG products with Chart Distribution & Storage.

That “major oil company?” Neither will confirm it, but Chart’s likeliest customer is Shell. “I can only assume it’s Shell,” says one of several sources polled. Shell provides LNG at several truck stops in Alberta, and has publicized plans with TravelCenters of America to build a nationwide U.S. network.

Chart Wins Contract For 20 LNG Stations

General Motors (Booth 221) has publicized several new NGVs, including an Impala sedan for 2015 with direct-injection 3.6-liter engine to be upfit-ted for CNG by Roush (better known for pro-pane upfits) using a fuel system from Quantum.

Existing GM NGVs and the new ones for 2014 are modified for either dedicated-CNG or CNG-gasoline bi-fuel operation by Impco Automotive (Booth 306) in Union City, Ind.

New for next year is a bi-fuel Chevy Cruze sedan by Impco.

“We are thrilled to obtain the first EPA certification for a MY2014 bi-fuel sedan that provides both fleets and consumers an option,” said Mariano Costamagna, CEO of Impco parent Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc.

“The after-market kits we have developed for the MY2014 Chevrolet Cruze offer a robust solution that eliminates ‘range anxiety’ by including an 8.4 gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) tank as standard equipment,” he said.

The Type III carbon fiber-on-aluminum CNG fuel cylinder for the Cruze is by Worthington-SCI (Booth 531).

GM offers dedicated-CNG Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles as passenger vans for 2014, joining the current cargo versions of the vehicles.

GM has also promised new bi-fuel versions of its bi-fuel Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups for 2015, expanding the range to include 2500HD and 3500HD models in all cab styles

with both two- and four-wheel-drive options.“With these new vehicles, General Motors

offers the most comprehensive lineup of manufacturer-engineered, validated and warranted CNG vehicles; helping fleet managers manage their budget and reduce their carbon footprint,” said US. fleet and commercial sales VP Ed Peper.

The vehicles are fully warranted and validated by GM.

A new public access fueling station for Frito-Lay in Perry, in central Georgia, is just one of many as Trillium CNG hits its stride as a unit of Integrys Energy. The Chicago-based utility par-ent acquired Trillium USA and affiliate Pinnacle CNG in September 2011, and folded Pinnacle’s hydraulic intensifier technology for better CNG fills into the present-day unit.

In June, Trillium (Booth 335) said it would build 101 CNG fueling stations in 29 states through 2016.

Among them, Trillium is building a CNG station serving the Port of Tampa from the second quarter of 2014, augment-ing a facility already under construction for Dillon Transport in Tampa and open-ing this month.

Earlier in Octo-ber, Trillium partner Amp Americas (339) disclosed a deal with Dairy Farmers of America and Select

Milk Producers for CNG trucks in Texas. The Amp-Trillium joint venture will build

seven public-access fueling stations by early 2014, “and lease new CNG trucks that will travel more than 13.2 million miles per year, servicing routes throughout Texas.”

The Amp-Trillium CNG stations will be built in Waco, Amarillo, Harrold, Sweetwater, Weatherford, Kerrville and Midland. They will initially fuel 40 new Class 8 Kenworth and Peter-bilt CNG sleeper trucks, “a number that will double over the course of the agreement.”

The result will be “a network of public, fast-fill CNG stations across all of the major Texas corridors that can be used by any fleet running trucks across the state,” said Amp Americas CEO Nathan Laurell.

Trillium has broken into groceries too, build-ing a station for the SuperValu chain at a distri-bution center in Mechanicsville, Va..

Trillium supports bus fleets as well. Recent work includes a high-volume, fast-fill CNG sta-tion project for GRTC Transit in Richmond, Va. GRTC is replacing all of its diesel bus fleet – 152 buses – with NGVs, and is switching 78 paratransit buses from gasoline to natural gas as vehicles are retired from the fleet.

Like other Trillium installations, the Rich-mond station features the firm’s patented HY-C technology which dispenses CNG at a rate similar to diesel using a hydraulic compressor. A smart control system will yield power costs savings as great as 30% while maintaining fast fuel rates.

“We specialize in fueling public transit bus fleets economically, quickly and efficiently,” said Trillium CNG president Mary Boettcher.

The Frito-Lay station in Perry, Ga. is one of six won by Trillium, as the PepsiCo company moved last year to act as anchor tenant for a network of stations – thereby helping build a national CNG fueling infrastructure. Besides Perry, Trillium CNG will fuel Frito-Lay and other CNG vehicles in Beloit, Wisc., Jones-boro, Ark.; Orlando, Fla.; Charlotte, N.C.; and Rosenberg, Texas.

Westport: A Year In TransitionIt’s a transition year for Westport Innovations, as the company stopped taking orders for its for-mer flagship, the high pressure direct injection, LNG-only Westport 15L last week. Yet West-port remains one of the biggest names in NGVs, whether through the spark-ignition engines from the Cummins Westport joint venture or an increasingly diversified raft of products from Westport Innovations – including the former BAF Technologies for Ford vehicle upfits.

Westport Innovations (Booth 616) comes to Atlanta with a new order for 900 of its iCE Pack brand LNG tanks from Houston’s Universal LNG Solutions.

“The availability of iCE Pack gives ULNG the ability to offer our customers a package solution with dedicated infrastructure, LNG fuel and vehicle LNG fuel systems,” said Universal CEO Jeffrey Liu.

Only about 40% of the 900 units to be shipped over the next two years will be for transportation, Liu estimates. Many will go for industrial applica-tions, he told ShowTimes, including energy explora-tion and production: drilling and fracking.

Liu said his firm is also working with Westport on a recently disclosed project for an LNG-fueled tugboat.

Elsewhere in the emerging high-horsepower sector, Westport is offering LNG tenders or ten-der cars for natural gas-fueled locomotives.

In light duty vehicles, Westport bolstered the former Westport LD line of OMVL, Emer and other NGV equipment, and upfits of natural gas pickup trucks in Louisville, Ky., by buying BAF Technologies and Servo-Tech from Clean Energy Fuels for $30 million this past June.

The Westport unit, already a Ford QVM – Qualified Vehicle Modifier – with BAF- ServoTech becomes a Ford QCM – Qualified Calibration Modifier – as well.

Cummins Westport (Booth 715), a 50-50 joint venture with Cummins dating from 2001, is bask-ing in the popularity of its new, up-to-400-horse-power, 11.9-liter spark-ignition dedicated-natural gas ISX12 G, an engine widely credited with open-ing the over-the-road truck market to natural gas.

Freightliner (Booth 613) and Mack (114) are among the companies promoting ISX12 G- powered trucks here.

Even before the commercial advent of the ISX12 G, more than 10,000 of Cummins

Westport’s dedicated-natural gas 8.9-liter ISL G engines had entered service. Worldwide, the firms claim a total of more than 35,000 engines in service.

Ryder (Booth 816) started in California in spring 2010 with approximately 200 mostly Freightliner trucks in a federally backed project with Sanbag, the San Bernardino Associated Governments. Ryder then extended its rental reach to Arizona, Michigan and Louisiana.

Thirty CNG-fueled Freightliner Cascadia trucks, with 11.9 Cummins West-port ISX12 G engines, for Saddle Creek in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are the first Ryder NGVs in Texas (a 31st vehicle is for Saddle Creek in Louisiana).

Thirty-five LNG-fueled Peterbilt 386 tractors for Blu in Salt Lake City, with the 15-liter high pressure direct injection engine and LNG fuel system from Westport Innovations, are the first Ryder NGVs for Utah.

Blu’s ten Peterbilt 384 and 15 Freightliner Cascadia trucks for Atlanta, all powered by the ISX12 G, are the first Ryder NGVs for Georgia.

Saddle Creek will take delivery of its new CNG vehicles during the first quarter of 2014, Ryder says.

“Because this is such a leading-edge technol-ogy, relationships like the one we have estab-lished with Ryder are critical to our success,” said

Saddle Creek president Mike DelBovo.Saddle Creek is already a customer of this

week’s conference host, Atlanta Gas Light, which earlier this year opened a CNG fueling station in Valdosta, Ga.

The Ryder NGVs for Saddle Creek in Texas

are being made available through Ryder’s partici-pation in the Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program (TNGVGP), funded by the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) initiatives and administered by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

Blu (Booth 612) began to take delivery of its Ryder trucks for Salt Lake City in September and will receive its Atlanta vehicles in January, Ryder says. “Blu will make natural gas vehicles available to companies in these markets that are interested in testing the LNG trucks in their

fleets for a first-hand opportunity to measure the results and savings that come from adopting a lower-cost fuel.

Freightliner is at Booth 613.“Ryder is making investments to upgrade its

existing maintenance facilities, one in Salt Lake City and one at its Fulton Industrial Center loca-tion outside of Atlanta, to meet the unique speci-fications required to service natural gas vehicles.”

Ryder and Blu have also entered into an agree-ment to jointly provide LNG fueling infrastruc-

ture at key Ryder facilities. The Fulton Indus-trial Center location will be the first of these co-located stations, supporting Ryder’s contract customers and will accept all major fleet cards.

In addition to its placement of natural gas trucks with Saddle Creek and Blu, Ryder recently reported a Flex-to-Green lease for ten new diesel trucks with the Pennsylvania Maca-roni Company, a Pittsburgh firm that’s been in business since 1902.

The Flex-to-Green lease includes an option to convert the vehicles to natural gas after one year.

“Will North America be the world’s next big natural gas vehicle market?” asks Alicia Milner, president of the Ottawa-based Canadian NGV Alliance (Booth 425) – and of NGV Global.

Her answer? An emphatic Yes. “Given the strong forward movement for natural gas for onroad, marine, rail, and offroad markets in the United States and Canada,” she told ShowTimes, “It’s timely that NGV Global’s biennial Conference & Exhibition will be held in Long Beach, California from May 5-9, 2014.”

NGV Global 2014 will be co-located with ACT Expo 2014, the Alternative Clean

Transportation Conference and Exposition. Both are organized by GNA – Santa

Monica- and New York-based Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (Booth 321).

“The confluence of market forces like aggressive public policy initiatives, low cost natural gas, sustained high petroleum prices, and ongoing environmental imperatives has never been greater,” says GNA CEO Erik Neandross. “We’re proud to be able to offer a truly international event this year. North America is poised to be the world’s next great NGV market – as well as a leading market for electric drive,

hydrogen fuel cell, and an array of other advanced technologies and alternative fuels.”

Come see them all at ACT Expo 2014. Abstracts for conference presentations are

being accepted until November 29. www.actexpo.com • www.ngv2014.com

Ryder System’s efforts to provide natural gas-fueled trucks for lease is gaining momentum, as the Florida-based company last month disclosed deals for 31 compressed natural gas-fueled trucks for Saddle Creek and 55 liquefied natural gas-fueled trucks for Blu.

UPS has greatly elaborated on its plans for LNG trucks, as announced at ACT Expo 2013 in Washington, D.C. this past June. The Atlanta-based package delivery giant is pledging an investment of some $50 million to build nine more LNG fueling stations for a total of 13, all to be operational by the end of 2014.

“The enhanced LNG fueling infrastructure will support the operation of approximately 1,000 UPS LNG tractors that will displace more than 24 million gallons of diesel fuel annually,” UPS says.

GP Strategies Corp (Booth 235) followed the LNG announcement with word that it would build the 13 new UPS fueling stations, stating that each will include three or more 18,000- gallon LNG storage vessels and two or more dispensers, allowing them to support more than 100 trucks daily.

“The natural gas industry needs companies to commit to using natural gas to help establish a reliable alternative to traditional fuel, and that is just what UPS is doing,” said UPS chief oper-ating officer David Abney. “LNG is becoming more readily available, plus it’s more insulated from market volatilities than diesel fuel.”

The UPS fueling infrastructure expansion will include onsite LNG fueling stations in Florida,

Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Construction is already underway at previously announced UPS facili-ties in Tennessee and Texas. UPS operates LNG tractors in Las Vegas, Phoenix, Beaver and Salt Lake City in Utah, and, Ontario, Calif.

The designs for UPS include expansion capa-bilities to allow for additional LNG storage ves-sels and LNG dispensers to meet UPS’s demand for its growing LNG fleet, GP said.

“Building these fueling stations is a solid future investment for UPS,” said Abney. “Since

vehicles represent approximately 35% of UPS’s carbon footprint, a cornerstone of the company’s environmental strategy is to support the develop-ment and use of lower-emission alternative fuels.

“By 2017, our goal is to reach one billion miles driven by our alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet.”

In addition to the over-the-road LNG trac-tors, UPS operates approximately 1,000 CNG package delivery vehicles. The company said it will begin a pilot program testing CNG tractors in early 2014.

“Between 2000 and the end of 2012, the UPS alternative fuel and advanced technology fleet logged 295 million miles,” UPS says.

UPS Putting $50 Million into LNG

‘A large portion’ of the new LNG trucks will be from Mack Trucks powered by the 11.9-liter, spark-ignition ISX12 G engine from Cummins Westport (Booth 715). Mack unveiled its LNG-fueled Pinnacle axle back tractor – in UPS livery – at MATS 2013 in Kentucky this past March. Mack Trucks is at Booth 114.
