Mansfield Clean Energy Partners (MCEP), the joint venture of Clean Energy Fuels Corp and Mansfield Energy Corp, held a grand opening ceremony for the first compressed natural gas (CNG) station built to serve the MCEP venture.
Georgia Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle and Donna Pittman, mayor of Doraville GA, participated in the ceremony and toured the new corporate headquarters of MCEP located adjacent to the new card-lock CNG station, designed to support heavy-duty natural gas trucks.
“Opening the first of many MCEP stations and seeing trucks fueling today brings into focus the potential of this venture,” said Michael Mansfield, chief executive officer of Mansfield. “We’ve served our bulk fuel customers with the most innovative fuel logistics solutions for decades; the innovative natural gas solution of tomorrow is now available with the opening of this station.”
Located at 2765 Woodwin Rd in Doraville, the new card-lock natural gas fueling station will fuel Mansfield’s growing fleet of 12 natural gas trucks, as well as other area fleets. The station will showcase the potential natural gas fuel brings to the significant bulk fuel hauling market segment.
“Mansfield has shown industry leadership yet again with the deployment of its first CNG trucks,” said Andrew J Littlefair, president and chief executive officer of Clean Energy. “As the anchor tenant of the first MCEP station, this growing fleet will be a rolling case study for other bulk fuel haulers contemplating the transition to cleaner-burning and less-expensive natural gas fuel.”
